Eloise Viola – Glasshouse
Eloise Viola has released her brand new single ‘Glasshouse’. It is the title track of her forthcoming debut album, out today.
‘Glasshouse’ is a glorious disco track with staccato strings and infectious hooks which brings to mind the likes of Lizzo and Dua Lipa whilst being identifiably Eloise Viola. Lyrically however, the song tackles issues with eating disorders and was inspired by a specific article celebrating the return of heroin chic, a 90s fashion trend that seemed to celebrate painfully skinny bodies.
“It started off as me talking directly to the author of that article, like “’who do you think you are saying what is and what is not ‘in’ about my body? What you have written has made me feel shit”,” explains Eloise of the meaning behind the track. “Everyone thought it was such an unusual image and name for a song. It felt like such a metaphor for the album – the transparency and vulnerability. Glass is strong and see-through but can also be fragile. The house is this idea that your mind and your body are your home and you need to treat it kindly, and delicately.”
Eloise Viola’s forthcoming debut album Glasshouse is a passionate pop record from the London-based singer, songwriter and vocal powerhouse, which shares her messages of self-love, self-empowerment and hard-won independent strength.
