Eleni Drake‘s latest release, “Strawberry Moon,” is a stunning love song from the London-based artist. The track is beautifully shaped with a soft, lo-fi sound that starts with delicate pads and gentle rain foley, which sets a warm and dreamy mood for the track.
As the song progresses, light percussion is added, providing a gentle pulse to the melody. The addition of delicate lead guitar gives the song a nice traditional feel, while the howling slide guitar in the background further adds a dreamy sound to the mix. The song is full of soul, and the artist’s vocals are soothing and gentle.
The backing vocals wonderfully support those of Eleni, adding depth and emotion to the lyrics. The song is, at its core, an old-school ballad with a modern dream-pop touch– a combination that works together and creates a unique sound. “Strawberry Moon” is a heart-warming love song and a must listen for fans of dream-pop and ballads.
“Strawberry Moon” is the third single from Eleni Drake’s forthcoming album, Surf the Sun, which is due out on May 19.
