Eloise Viola Explores Debut Album Glasshouse With Latest Single Lifetime

by | Apr 12, 2024

Eloise Viola has released her brand new single Lifetime, the latest song to be taken from her forthcoming debut album Glasshouse, which drops on 10th May. Lifetime is a contrasting upbeat song about heartbreak which pulsates with flamenco rhythms. Lush acoustic guitar plucks among atmospheric strings forming a danceable ballad to which Viola’s stunning vocals soar throughout.

Regarding the single the 28-year-old says, “Lifetime tells the story of a relationship ending and it blindsiding me. The song opens with the aftermath of that. The feeling of anger, hurt and ‘unfairness’. But slowly (very slowly!) as I healed, I processed what had happened and I realised that it was always going to end. I thought we could have gone on for a Lifetime and that a lack of love wasn’t really the problem. What love there was kept holding us together when we deserved more, and so we took it. I feel like the song has a bittersweet feeling of resolution, like the end of a sad book that you love!”

Eloise Viola’s forthcoming debut album Glasshouse is a passionate pop record from the London-based singer, songwriter and vocal powerhouse, which shares her messages of self-love, self-empowerment and hard-won independent strength.

Lifetime follows the release of Delicate, Listen and Electricity, which have all been taken from the upcoming album. The latter song has proved a widespread hit achieving strong radio support including BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing on Radio 1, as well as multiple plays across Latin America, while also topping the fan voted chart at EDM Radio Spain for five months.

BBC Introducing continue to be a strong advocate for Viola ahead of the album, having supported the previously released song Delicate as their ‘Track Of The Day’, they have now invited her to complete a live session airing the day before the album release.

Glasshouse has been written and created in LA, Nashville and London, and its thirteen songs – influenced by the likes of Robyn, Griff, Becky Hill and Holly Humberstone – chart Eloise Viola’s journey from battles with body issues, mental health and loss of confidence, through to the strong, powerful woman she is today, keen to pass on what she’s learned along the way.

The release of Glasshouse will also be accompanied by a multi-episode podcast Glasshouse: Laid Bare, allowing Eloise to explore the themes on the album in-depth for her fans. In this documentary style podcast, she shares the unfiltered stories behind how these songs marked her lowest points, and the lessons that lifted her onto a path to healing, self-empowerment, and self-love. It’s heart-warming, insightful and you can laugh along with her honest recollection of the ups and downs of her personal life and career.

Eloise Viola will be celebrating the release of the album with a special album launch show ahead of release at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on 2nd May. The show promises to be an intimate immersive experience for fans who will hear tracks from Glasshouse for the first time, all performed live with Viola’s full band, among a further sensory experience delving deep into the empowering themes of the record. Tickets for the show are on sale now  here.

Wyatt Flores Brings Honest Heart And Sharp Style To London’s Roundhouse

On a crisp October night at London’s Roundhouse, Wyatt Flores stepped onto the stage to a roaring crowd, his name echoing around the vaulted room with a force that surprised even him. Supporting 49 Winchester on their UK run, the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter might technically have been the opener, but from the reaction that greeted him, it was clear many had come just as much for Wyatt.
