Music is beautiful when you feel it, when it connects with the deepest part of your being, and on June 12th, 2025, Eleri Ward created a song that does just that in “Someone, Something New.” This song is the type you listen to with not just your ears but with every part of your being. “Someone, Something New” brings you into a world of soft, soulful melodies that sound and feel celestial. It’s like you’re playing with the sounds of the universe; you find yourself eyes closed, smiling into your immersion.
This magical piece opens with something so calming and heavenly, the charming melodies of the piano laced with heavy pounding yet softly calculated kicks and radiant percussive feels. This melody, now coated in dazzling stringed melodies, now created an emotional and paradisiacal soundscape, something so tranquil and profound. The tempo is slow, allowing you to drown in the divine passion that each note carries. And then there’s Eleri Ward’s vocals, so mellow and resonant. Her voice enters with a sense of vulnerability and elegance. Her voice perfectly flows with the soul of the melody created, her voice like an ink painting on a paradisiacal canvas.
The progression of the song moves like the gentle tides of the ocean; the melodies are fluid and as beautiful as water pouring from a fountain. As each second passes, the song opens up more emotions, becoming more expansive, not just in its melody but also in its vulnerability. The layering of the piano melodies, the allure of the guitar strings, and the lush feel of the percussion become more profound; they roar with tenacity while still maintaining the core essence of calm and beauty. One thing that really strikes is the multiple vocal layers that this song comes with. These extra layers deepened the emotional resonance of the song; they created a transcendent melody that elevated the entire allure of the song.
The production of this song is magnificent; the simplicity it comes with is reflective. The balance between the tender emotional instrumentation and Eleri Ward’s vocals is perfection. The way the lyrics flow with the instrumentation is truly emotional, with themes that revolve around the journey of healing, where unresolved trauma from the past resurfaces as someone or something new. And the song was produced in such a way that it reflects and embodies the thematic essence of the song. Eleri Ward poured her heart, soul, and essence into this song. Let this soulful piece find you, hold you, and stay with you in the quiet corners of your soul.
