Despite calling Wales her home, ELERI possesses a surprising sense of authenticity when it comes to her Americana and Country musical output. A sign of dedication and honesty, the Welsh songstress champions a wholesome, friendly style that balances over euphoric, empowering and fierce full-band singles and more mellow, nuanced ballads – it’s the sort of eclecticism we appreciate. ‘The Carnival’ is ELERI’s latest effort, a long album that showcases the enlightened artistry the project is now enjoying.
Introduced by ‘Magic’, the record delves into uplifting, powerful territories, doubling down on the ideas of a ‘Rodeo’, something that seeks to characterise ELERI’s live shows, a collective celebration of the majestic nature of her music. In turn, it also connects to the concept behind ‘The Carnival’, here meant as the kaleidoscopic quality of human life and behaviours.
Speaking about the record, ELERI explains: “‘The Carnival’ is a showcase of all the hard work since my debut album. When The Carnival rolls into town it’s filled with amazement, wonder, sights and sounds to stir your imagination, unforgettable moments and most importantly have a rollercoaster of emotions in an action-packed show. This is the last 4 years of my life written, documented and to be performed in front of you all…”
