ELERI WARD - Float

On Rotation: Eleri Ward “Float"

Following the striking release of her single There You Go, Eleri Ward is back with Float, a song that plunges deep into thematic threads of release and trust. This second single from her upcoming album is a startling reminder of Eleri's gift in creating music that doesn't just resonate but lingers long after it has been played. Blending delayed synths, gentle piano, and her signature celestial vocals, Float is a stunning piece of electro-pop that cements her place as a rising star in the genre.

At the heart of the track is Eleri’s signature vocal layering, which crafts a dreamy yet grounded narrative about finding peace in stillness. In a world that glorifies being busy, Float dares to celebrate slowing down and leaning into introspection. This is a poem, such as in lines, "What if I just fell into the pool? Open arms, a doubtless dive to blue," inviting us to have faith in the unknown and just to be vulnerable. It is one of those songs that feels like a deep breath: calming, reflective, achingly beautiful.

Float becomes even more personal because it's absolutely self-produced, from the sound to the visuals-it comes from Eleri. Again, this speaks volumes to the personal touch put forth while deepening that emotional connection found within the music. It was honestly an expression of herself as an artist-not somebody who is afraid to take on her own lane in life.

Born and raised in Chicago, now based in NYC, Eleri Ward has been enchanting her audiences for quite a while. Critically acclaimed reinterpretations of Sondheim earned praise from the likes of The New York Times, Forbes, and American Theatre Magazine. Now, with the transition into electro-pop, the artist combines indie-folk with introspective storytelling and modern production-what's really exciting for this artist's career.

Float is less of a song but rather an invitation into a stop and consider. Now available on all major streaming platforms, the track invites listeners to lean into quiet moments and find something beautiful in release. If this track is anything to go by, Eleri Ward is going to have quite the brilliant career as a musician and storyteller.
