Eliza Hope Cowdery, a 16-year-old from the New Forest, has just released her debut single Limbo.
Written during lockdown when she was 13, Eliza wrote the song to help deal with the emotional impact of being stuck inside during the Pandemic.
Many other songs soon followed. She recently fulfilled a long-term dream to record her music with the help of Harrison Perks at HP Music in Ringwood.
She said: “I am so pleased to finally release my first song and am excited to share it with the world.”
Eliza started learning the violin at the age age of five.
Since then, she has learned to play the bass guitar, guitar and ukulele and discovered a passion for singing.
Lockdown offered her the time and space to pursue songwriting which she discovered was a positive creative outlet for her emotions:
“I think many people my age feel judged for being who they are and retreat into themselves… writing music makes me feel like myself and is my favourite way to creatively outlet my emotions.”
Limbo is a catchy acoustic song which evokes the strange limbo-world we all experienced in lockdown as well as the battleground between adolescence and adulthood.
Eliza plays all of the instruments on the track (bass, ukulele and violin) and sang and arranged all the vocals and harmonies.
The song can be downloaded from Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music and other music retail outlets, or from elizahopemusic.com/singles.
The teenager’s second single, called Motionless Emotions, will be released soon. For more information visit elizahopemusic.com or email elizahopemusic@yahoo.com.
