London-based alternative R&B singer-songwriter ELIZZA has shared her third single of 2020, a love letter to England’s capital.
Singer-songwriter ELIZZA is waving goodbye to the summer of 2020 with “London Eyes”, co-written with LA-based producer Mars Today. On first listen, ELIZZA’s latest track might sound like a romantic tale that draws from her personal experiences in the style of previous releases “Habit”, “Want to Keep” and “Can’t Quit” – but in fact, “London Eyes” is a love letter to the memories and connections she has made in the glorious city that she calls home: London.

“The story is about my love and “sometimes” hate relationship with London. […] “London Eyes” talks about how I feel the city is “keeping eyes” on me and not letting me go.”

ELIZZA’s stylistic versatility has already been demonstrated by her previous releases, but “London Eyes” introduces an innovative take on pop music that fuses elements of R&B, EDM and pop. Her unique songwriting process is spontaneous but goes deep and holds true meaning – both in insightful, poetic lyrics and expertly crafted melodies. Speaking about the creative process behind “London Eyes”, ELIZZA recounted the story behind the song: “It was my second trip to Los Angeles and I had a session arranged with Mars Today. I definitely didn’t think I would walk outside the studio that day with a song like this. Mars Today wanted to challenge me and I took it on, and when we were talking about our musical influences and what’s happening in my life at that time, somehow the conversation was getting deeper about London as I was sharing with him more about me and who I am. All this conversation and jamming led us to writing this song in which London represents a “person” and how my personal experiences, my relationships, my ups and downs over the past 10 years in this city and with this city, have shaped my life.”
