You could really feel that with the world when it was slowing down, it made you realise how fast we were all going, so that was really important. ![]() It made me feel quite at ease and like I could go even more at my own pace than I thought I was going. The thing that I liked at first was just the feeling that for the whole industry and the world, in general, it was just like the rat race stopped, the pressure stopped. So luckily, for me, I was in that rhythm of creating, and I kind of knew where I wanted to go with it. We’d made at least three or four tracks from it. When the first lockdown happened, I was already halfway through making this record. That was another pretty big shift within the landscape of music. You had that big transformation, and then a couple of years later, 2020 happened. It was like I did my 10,000 hours, basically. 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. 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.
