Search - Eliza Newman :: Empire Fall

2007 debut from the female vocalist who has traveled on one of Europe's most celebrated musical journeys spanning 15 years, fronting three acclaimed bands, and perhaps best known as the former lead singer of Icelandic Rock band Bellatrix. Empire Fall, written and arranged by El¡za, echoes haunting vocals, which lead to sparkling melodies calling up the barren and heartbreaking delivery of '60s songstress Nico, punctuated by Power Pop reminiscent of Debbie Harry's Blondie; all the while exploring themes of troubling relationships, the status of independence and female strength, not unlike the work of another major influence, Kate Bush. Lead track 'Empire Fall' is a feisty statement of intent, showing how easily El¡za is able to take command of her vocal delivery. Series B.
