Liverpool-based soul-pop artist Eleanor unveils her long-awaited EP There’s no quiet, there’s little relief
A genre-bending exploration of emotional firsts, featuring blues, funk, folk, and jazz infusions with a sound that cuts deep - As seen in the Luxembourg Times.
From moody ballads to cinematic builds, this five-track collection pulses with raw honesty, mirroring the personal evolution that shaped it. Reflecting her blues and classical roots while embracing the polish of modern pop, the project balances intimacy with grandiosity—lush string arrangements, unusual instrumentation, and bold production shifts threaded together by Eleanor’s emotional lyricism and distinctive vocal phrasing. From the brooding tension of Cold Day in Hell to the cinematic sweep of Prey, the EP leans into heartbreak, infatuation, betrayal and the chaotic theatre of young love.
Produced by Ben Lowe, James Wyatt (Sloeflower Studio), Matt Humphries, and Dave Ormsby, with contributions from Jennifer Morgan, Rachael Langtree, Danny Miller, and more, this EP is rich in texture and collaboration. Mastered by Morten Lund, the final result is both sprawling and focused—an emotional archive made from strong musical abilities and intimate reflection.
We had the opportunity to chat with Eleanor surrounding her biggest influences and top five music videos - getting to know the mind behind the melody...
5 seconds flat short film by Lizzy Mcalpine
I love the whole album and it was just so different and creative. I know this is a curation of multiple videos but I love it in its entirety, I think it gave such a good lens on the album as a whole.
Another Love by Tom Odell
The song was a big inspiration when I was young and the video’s so simple but perfect. I think it’s not as revolutionary now but 10+ years ago it really hit me.
Yellow by Coldplay
Again a song I loved growing up, and it’s really simple. Maybe they completely ran out of money but I don’t care cus seeing chris martin sing a little love song walking along the beach in a rain mac was incredible.
Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
Just epic. The song, the video, the film. Epic and iconic.
Cold hearted Paula Abdul
The choreography is just everything. The song is so much fun, really 80s but still hits now and I think the commentary the video was making also still hits.
