“Float“ by Eleri Ward

“Float” by Eleri Ward is a gorgeous pop track with enchanting production and an enthralling vocal performance. Ward gets introspective with this track, working to surrender to the life she has, rather than get stuck constantly chasing a life that she believes will make her happier. Many of us struggle with feeling like we always need to be in constant motion and constant productivity in order to be satisfied. It is difficult to feel completely fulfilled with what you have, even if it is good. Ward wonders what would happen if she let go of the never ending self-improvement, and instead just tried to relax and float.

Ward’s vocal talent is on display throughout the song, especially with the quick, lilting riffs when she sings “float.” The melodies walk up and down as she moves between chest and head voice with ease, giving the word a captivating magic. High falsetto and whimsical melodies in the latter half of the song transport the listener to new atmospheres, driving home the ethereal themes of the track. Lines like “maybe I could be just where I am” and “nowhere that I have to be” show Ward settling into the natural rhythm of her life.

The music video for the track mirrors the dreamy and celestial production, lended to the song by the rhythmic pianos, rippling drums, and ambient instrumentation that drift through the song. Glittery makeup and emotional acting show Ward transcending to a happier mindset, floating in a pool with a gorgeous blue dress swimming around her.
