REVIEW: ELERI Releases The Brand New Summer Anthem “Karaoke”!

Welsh country singer-songwriter Eleri is swiftly building anticipation towards the forthcoming album “The Carnival” with the brand new single “Karaoke”!

This latest release was co-written alongside Vanessa Murray & Katie Buckland & produced by Tim Prottey-Jones. The song centres around a short-lived romance that quickly fizzled out before the relationship had a chance to become something more.

Speaking about the release, Eleri shared “Karaoke is a happy nostalgic escape. I wrote this one in January 2021 when a loved one was very ill & I coped by imagining him away on tour as a big rockstar singing our favourite songs. We wrote this song over Zoom I’d debated cancelling the session as I wasn’t in the right frame of mind but went ahead with it as a distraction. I originally thought I might give the song to another artist, but when I showed my manager a voice note of the chorus, he straight away told me it had to be on the album! It quickly became one of my favourites.

Eleri added “It’s turned into this really fun story reliving memories of a young relationship, back when times were simpler. Tim did an excellent job of bringing this to life and I’m excited to hear everyone’s reaction to it. I’m just hoping for some sunshine here in Wales now as this is a Summer bop that needs to be blasted in a car with the windows down”

The song carries a mid-tempo country-pop summer-influenced soundscape full of contemporary elements & nostalgic vibes to create a personally connecting sound that instantly draws you in.

Eleri provides a vibrantly expressive performance that reflects the lyrical factor of this highly catchy piece & showcases the ear-catching charismatic tones this gifted artist carries.

Overall, this song contains all the makings of an Eleri classic & showcases the lyrically creative spirit she possesses. I personally loved the warming sense of nostalgia featured within this composition & honestly believe this is the perfect addition to your summer playlist.
