Hailing from the coastal city of Plymouth in the UK, Eden Dawn is a solo artist with a truly unique musical identity. Not only does she lend her vocals to her music, but she also takes charge of the entire production process to deliver her creative output as a self-sufficient artist.
During the lockdowns, she taught herself how to produce music and started to create her own sonic vision while taking inspiration from artists such as Björk, Kate Bush, Fiona Apple and Sheena Ringo. Unveiling her experimental pop sound in 2020 with her debut single “Come Undone,” she’s since shared an impressive amount of well-received singles and EPs.
Flowing through various iterations across her sonic output, she’s crafted dreamy soundscapes to jazz-inflected pop, all wrapped up in her avant-garde approach and highly original sound. Her ability to cut across various genres and create a sonic universe uniquely her own has earned appreciation and attention, particularly from BBC Music Introducing’s Sarah Gosling.
Now she brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “More Than This,” a song that initially started to take shape two years ago before being put on the back burner and almost forgotten about entirely. When revisiting the track as part of her university studies, she breathed new life into the composition and completed the song ready to share with the world.
Inspired by her relationship with her partner, the song is themed on how lucky she feels to have someone who makes the monotonous days feel colourful and fun. Opened by the bright tones of hazy guitar notes riding the gentle patter of percussive shots, Eden’s ethereal voice drifts in above the rising rhythm of tapping drums and soft bass lines to craft a smokey soundscape.
Threading blissful melodies, the dreamy sound develops with the stuttered buzz of synth tones and smooth ebb and flow from the beat. As the vibrant arrangement floats down to leave space for her vocals, spacey processed tones usher in the finale where the grooving rhythm is met with glitching percussive shots and intricate synth textures. It’s a truly stellar showcase of Eden Dawn’s creativity, her production panache and her ability to craft an alluring sound that’s at once unique and memorable.
