Sticking with the theme of melancholic brooding – this week’s second track is by up-and-coming singer and songwriter Eleni Drake, and perfect for embracing those late night blues. Embellished with an eclectic blend of indie rock and blues notes, Melbourne Blues boasts a gorgeous kind of moodiness, that renders it a status of classic vintage timelessness.
Silky vocals coupled with a dreamy melodic vocal line makes this track instantly intimate. Immersed in the sounds of Mac Miller and Billie Holiday, Drake’s work is shaped by a blending of both her jazz idols and the punk rock music which soundtracked her childhood. Using emotional profound lyrics and a smooth vocal delivery, this song captures the darkness and despair of living in your own head.
Lof-fi, jazzy, and effortlessly realist – hit play and find your midnight solace.
