Eleni Drake releases new single ‘Singing Elvis (Part II)’
London-based British/Greek singer/songwriter and producer Eleni Drake has released her new single ‘Singing Elvis (Part II),’ taken from her forthcoming EP Above Deep Water, set to drop on September 27th via MNRK.
‘Singing Elvis (Part II)’ is the third single from the EP, following ‘Let it Go and Let it Be’ and ‘Daisy (Keep My Sweater).’ The two-minute track encapsulates intense emotions of solitude and freedom, reflecting Eleni’s lyrical exploration of navigating life alone.
Eleni explains the inspiration behind the song:
“‘Singing Elvis is a 2’ part story, if you will. The first half of the song is all the sweet elements to a relationship, where things are going well, romance is in full bloom, the stars come out to dance ‘just for you two.’
“Part II is where the inevitable happens: things don’t go as hoped for, people change in relationships – they grow up, or grow out of the relationship, and the lyrics pretty much explain my need and desire to be alone. I felt pretty exhausted thinking ‘I’m not doing things right’, or simply not pleasing where I can, so, fuck it. Leave me alone – I’d rather be alone than have to live with constant.”
Eleni Drake’s EP Above Deep Water will be available on September 27th. In the meantime, fans can immerse themselves in the poignant and freeing experience of ‘Singing Elvis (Part II).’
