Starting off 2023 with a bang, is bringing us the release of her highly anticipated EP “Candy Heart”. “Candy Heart” tells the story of a classic relationship cycle; starting off full of romance, originally tasting sugar sweet but over time, things turn sour as the relationship ends. Based on true stories from her own life, expect layers of gorgeous harmonies, sassy but classy lyrics and playful instrumentation that will have you singing and dancing all the way through. Taking inspiration from a wide range of artists including Paramore, Olivia Dean, Fickle Friends and The Wombats, this EP is full of catchy indie pop bops that perfectly encompass all the highs and lows you feel when truly falling in and out of love. To support the release, Eliza is holding her own EP launch on 10th February at Dead Wax Digbeth before "Candy Heart" is officially released on 11th February. Bringing her delightfully addictive sound and positively radiant energy, Eliza May is an artist you won't want to miss out on in 2023.
