“Venusian Light” by Eleri Ward is a dreamy electronic pop song that takes you on a journey to a higher realm. Ward is an innovative and DIY artist that is consistently delivering catchy melodies and intricate arrangements. Much of her music holds themes of astrology, tarot cards, and the higher powers that are found within us. With this track, she draws inspiration from Venus, the planet (and Roman goddess) known for love and beauty. The final single before her upcoming album, “Venusian Light’ once again displays Ward’s one of a kind artistry and talent.
Light, sweeping synths open the song as subtle acoustic guitars and pretty pianos begin to build the atmosphere. Electric guitar and electric drums help to add ear candy and rhythm, as uniquely textured synths and banjo offer unexpected elements that grab at your ear. Slight shifts in energy keep the song dynamic, and the ambient production matches the narrative of the song perfectly, offering a transcendent vibe that mirrors the transcendence Ward is seeking.
Lines like “suddenly I feel so bright, walking in Venusian light” and “now I’m a new kind of lover” show the internal growth Ward is experiencing through her connection to this fantastical power. Unpredictable melodies give you chills, pulling you across the arranged with their enveloping sounds. The kick drum begins hitting every beat after the second chorus, building tension and energy as siren-like vocals drift through the soundscape. These gorgeous vocal lines make it feel like you yourself are walking into the Venusian light right along with Ward.
