With her heartfelt, jazz-inflected songwriting and vocals, it sounds like British singer-songwriter Eloise could have come from a different musical age. Her initial breakthrough, though, was made in a thoroughly modern way.
Bred on a diet of Jamiroquai (“my favourite band”), John Legend, Corinne Bailey-Rae, Erroll Garner and Billy Joel, Eloise’s moment came when, in 2017, her cover of Bruno Major’s Second Time started gaining traction on Instagram. Major subsequently invited her to perform it with him, which led to a stint in his band and the pair recording together.
