Eliott wowed me with her last track “Circles,” and she’s serving up the goods again with her latest single “Home.” It’s a poignant ballad which homesickness she felt after months touring and writing abroad and just how good it feels to reconnect with everything that’s familiar to you. While the song was recorded long before the introduction of border restrictions, the song hits a little differently during the pandemic.
“I think there are so many people at the moment who are away from their home and haven’t seen their family in months,” Eliott said. “I think it’ll really connect with people because of that, but I also hope it makes people take a step back and reflect on the special times they’ve had with their families and really appreciate it.”
The song’s already emotional, but the music video takes the intensity up a notch. It shows Eliott’s family hearing the song for the first time, after they’d spent so many months away from her.
“Home” is so special, but that video is just the cherry on top. Apparently, Eliott has spent the year hard at work on new music, so hopefully this is the first of many new releases we’ll hear in the coming months.
