(New York, NY) January 20, 2022 — Today, 23-year-old London-based singer-songwriter Eloise announces her debut album Drunk On A Flight to be released on April 14th via AWAL – pre-save HERE. With the announcement, she also reveals the album’s title track with an accompanying video.
LISTEN & WATCH “Drunk On A Flight” HERE.
A breezy pop anthem that puts Eloise’s natural songwriting abilities at the forefront, the song tells the tale of a love gone sour. Directed by Balan Evans, the video chronicles the bittersweet aspects of a relationship as it begins to unravel. Opening at an airport terminal and climaxing with an emotional group dance scene, the video is one of her most ambitious yet. “Drunk On A Flight” paves the way for more of the singer’s exquisite vocals and heartfelt storytelling – branching beyond her signature marriage of jazz-tinged soul and folk.
Discussing the significance of the album and its title track, Eloise explains, “The biggest moments of my life have revolved around flying somewhere: flying away from something or flying to the thing that changed my life. The morning that me and my first boyfriend split up, I got in a taxi to Heathrow and that was the beginning of my first ever tour.”
Drunk On A Flight finds Eloise broadening her horizons and applying her pop nous to a wider palette of sounds. The 12-track body of work is a coming of age album about embracing the moment; a heartbreak record that empowers listeners to luxuriate in their feelings – however messy or complicated they may be. “My songwriting has always been honest, but this feels raw – like I’m exploring all the shades of emotion,” she explains.
Created in collaboration with South London producer Conor Albert, Drunk On A Flight is a heartbreak record that’ll empower listeners to luxuriate in their feelings–however messy or complicated they may be. It follows two critically-acclaimed EPs, This Thing Called Living (2019) and Eloise’s latest project Somewhere In-Between that The Line of Best Fit notes something only “a deft songwriter could manifest.”

About Eloise:
Born in the UK and raised in Normandy, Eloise spent her formative years absorbing her parents’ record collections, which ranged from Jim Croce, The Eagles and Joni Mitchell to the musicals of Steven Sondheim. With her heart set on following her actor-parents into the arts, she started pursuing that dream aged 10, once the family had moved back to London. By the age of 12 she’d landed a leading role in British arthouse movie Broken – acting alongside Cillian Murphy and Lily James – and was collaborating with Damon Albarn on the film’s soundtrack. At 17, Eloise kick started her career by posting acoustic covers to Instagram. Within days of posting her rendition of Bruno Major’s “Second Time,” Major himself reached out and invited her to duet at an upcoming London show. Eloise was subsequently invited to join Major on his US headline tour and a UK arena tour with Sam Smith, playing a solo set, contributing keyboards, and backing vocals as part of Major’s band. Now after two EPs, over 100 million streams and 150 shows performed globally to date, her upcoming debut album Drunk On A Flight, is certain to cement her place as one of the most exciting new voices to come out of the UK.
