Former Friend
Eleanor
A mesmerizing tune that captures the struggle of being part of a one-sided friendship.
Eleanor is a singer and songwriter from Canada. Her unique sound is “R&B leaning, with accents of soul and indie.” In her work, Eleanor “takes a narrative approach to songwriting, leaning on experiences of grief and overcoming to shape stories that are robust and deeply felt.” Eleanor says, “I make music because it would be harder not to; it’s a very natural extension of my personhood.” The singer has also contributed to music from artists like Saveria, Chad Price, and Emanuel. Some of the songwriter’s previous releases include songs like “Waste My Time,” “Make Sense,” and “So So.” Eleanor’s latest drop is the single “Former Friend.”
With an uplifting blend of melodic guitar and jazzy instrumental moments, “Former Friend” provides a dreamy backdrop to complement the track’s emotional exploration. Lyrics like “Why am I apologizing again, I always play the bad guy, let’s not pretend like, We had any equity in this relationship” and “Stupid for the love that I gave, The way I let you behave, Stupid for the hope that I had” reflect on the struggles and pains of being a part of a one-sided friendship. With its vibrant, soul-infused soundscape and plenty of passion-filled declarations on a relatable topic, Eleanor gifts us a striking new single that makes a serious impact. So press play and say goodbye to unhealthy relationships with “Former Friend.”
