Eleri Ward continues her evolution as a bold, self-producing artist with her latest single, “Float”—a celestial, introspective journey into the art of surrender. Following the electrifying debut of “There You Go“, this second offering from her forthcoming album shifts into a more ethereal and meditative space, blurring the lines between movement and stillness.
With delayed synths, upright piano, and swirling vocal layers, “Float” is a delicate yet powerful exploration of trust—of letting go rather than pushing forward. Ward’s signature textural builds and vocal arrangements create a dreamlike atmosphere, drawing listeners into a state of introspection and weightlessness. It’s a reckoning wrapped in melody, a reminder that sometimes, stillness is the boldest move of all.
Eleri Ward’s artistry goes beyond her hypnotic vocals and immersive production—she is at the helm of every aspect of her music, from songwriting to visuals. With “Float”, she once again proves that her music is not just a sonic experience but a deeply personal, self-actualized expression.
Originally from Chicago and now NYC-based, Ward first gained critical acclaim for her indie-folk interpretations of Stephen Sondheim’s works, garnering praise from The New York Times, Forbes, and American Theatre Magazine. But with her original music, she is forging a new path—melding electro-pop, organic textures, and cinematic storytelling to craft a sonic world uniquely her own.
“Float” is more than just a song—it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and embrace the beauty of the unknown. With her upcoming album shaping up to be her most introspective and sonically expansive work yet, Eleri Ward is proving that surrender can be just as powerful as action.
