A Sky Without Stars

Eliza is back with a bold new LP titled A Sky Without Stars, which, in the face of a multitude of problems in the world, invites us to look up, gain perspective, and remember the important things in life. The title came because she wanted to point at the reality of the skies, and that we never get to see the stars in London or any city in the world. Eliza's first body of work since 2018's A Real Romantic – a slinky, R&B/Soul record that represented, for the North London singer and songwriter, the moment she found her own voice. Eliza doesn't escape from reality – she faces it head on. An altogether more confrontational record, it represents her desire to engage with the many problems she sees in the world. In tones as smooth as honey, she draws us in and delves into the darkness. And drawing on the sonics of the 70s, songs are laden with a wool-warm and satin-soft sound, lending them a feel that is at once sullen, saturnine, sensual and seductive.
