![]() ![]() When I was touring those songs, I was constantly working. I don’t know if I would have if I hadn’t done a lot of sessions because I did sessions every day. I think one of the main things is probably the craft of songwriting, which is something that I definitely learned during that time. Was there anything that stayed with you from before that time, any elements of that sound or that process that you’ve kept with you? It sounds like you finally kind of gave yourself time to just experience things and do what you wanted. It was just a bit of an evolution for me and I’m really grateful for it. I went to loads of parties, met loads of new people and listened to loads of new music I didn’t know about. It was kind of like my university time, I never went to university because I was doing all the music stuff. It was like fleeing that nest, whatever that nest was, it was important for me to do that. And the management side of things as well, switching up the management that I’d had since I was like 13-15. Maybe I need this to be part of this sort of machine-y industry thing.” But soon as I did it, I just felt so relieved and I knew that it was the right decision. I think it was definitely leaving my label which was a bit scary because when you’re there, there is a little part of you that thinks “maybe I need them. But it was really amazing for me to just make music that actually reflected the music I loved and have always loved. You don’t want to not take those opportunities as they come, so you just do, and when you’re young don’t really know necessarily how to navigate that. I got guided in different directions when I was younger when it came to the industry career stuff. It didn’t have the team of a major label around and it was a really exciting time for me because I’d always loved music. What can you tell us about that time?Ģ017 is when I started properly releasing music independently and it was amazing because I really felt like I found my rhythm and it was my own choice. You underwent a pretty big musical transformation before your comeback in 2017. Scroll down to read our interview with ELIZA and watch the video debut for “Everywhere I’ll Ever Be,” premiering exclusively on Hypebae. We caught up with the artist to find out more about her necessary musical transformation, the process behind her latest single “Everywhere I’ll Ever Be,” and what to expect from her upcoming album A Sky Without Stars, slated for release on September 16. So I sort of felt the need to be more confrontational in this record,” she tells Hypebae. I know some people don’t and I’m not saying everyone should but I do. The play thus leaves it somewhat ambiguous as to whether or not she ever really achieves some of the independence she wants.Drawing inspiration from iconic artists like Radiohead, D’Angelo, Joni Mitchell and Nirvana, ELIZA’s new offering is “more confrontational” and about “actually getting sh-t done,” according to the artist. At the end of the play, she stands up to Higgins and leaves him, but he is confident that she will come back to him. Eliza desires independence but finds herself under the control of men like Pickering, Higgins, and her father. In Act Five, she insists that she really has changed and cannot go back to her old way of behaving or speaking, though Higgins thinks otherwise. It is unclear to what degree she really transforms by doing this, and to what degree she merely learns to play a role. She is a quick learner, and under the teaching of Pickering and Higgins she easily learns to act like a lady and pass as a member of the upper class. While not formally well-educated, she is quick-witted and is a strong character, generally unafraid to stand up for herself. First introduced as the flower-girl in Act One, and called variously Liza, Eliza, and Miss Doolittle, Eliza is the subject of Higgins and Pickering's experiment and bet. ![]()
