Eli Dan’s New Single More Than “Just Another Love Song”

I was instantly struck by the beauty of Eli Dan’s new single “Just Another Love Song.” Much more than its title suggests, the track is romantic without feeling tired, with fresh electronic flourishes and beautiful vocals from Elisha Apurado.

She’s the Eli part of Eli Dan, who brings a modern pop sensibility to the folkier style of her collaborator Danny Hacket. Together they create music that the press release calls a mash-up of the sounds of Sara Bareilles, John Mayer, and LANY. No wonder I’m all about it.

This is just the second single from Eli Dan, who burst onto the scene in 2019 with “Treading Water.” Thankfully the duo won’t leave us waiting another couple of years for more music. There are more singles to come, leading up to the release of Eli Dan’s first EP in October.

Eli Dan Releases Beautiful New Single, “Treading Water”

Melbourne pop duo Eli Dan give voice to the helplessness many Aussies feel with their new single “Treading Water.” While it wasn’t written about the bushfire crisis, the track perfectly echoes the sentiment in Australia right now.

While “Treading Water” comes from a place of heartache and struggle, there is also hope in these lyrics. After all, while you’re treading water your head is still above the surface. Keeping it up, digging deep into your resilience, keeps you alive. The song was inspired by the band’s struggles to make an impact in the competitive music industry. While it was recorded in singer Elisha Apurado’s home studio it has a big epic sound. And don’t her vocals give you chills?

Eli Dan will launch “Treading Water” at Kindred Studios in Yarraville on February 8.
