Eliza Shaddad – 'Blossom'

Critically acclaimed Sudanese-Scottish artist Eliza Shaddad sings an ode to growth, renewal and hope on stunning new single ‘Blossom’.

Flowing ever so gently like a river to the sea, ‘Blossom’ is a masterpiece of intimacy. A swelling soundscape of soft acoustic guitars infused with the wonderful chirp of a Sudanese oud welcomes you into Eliza’s home with outstretched arms while her tender vocals warm your heart in an instant. “As the air begins to warm, I breathe it in and as my heart begins to sing, I think it must be spring again,” she sings, perfectly encapsulating the track’s peaceful nature.

With her elegant vocals and beautifully well-rounded soundscapes (ranging from ‘Blossom’’s safe haven to darker waters like last year’s magnetic collection ‘Sept ~ Dec‘), Eliza Shaddad is the kind of artist that makes you believe in magic. A must listen for fans of Joni Mitchel and Laura Marling.
