Leeds native and rising indie star Eden Rain treats listeners to her newest single ‘Great nothing’.
Her latest release written alongside producer/songwriter halfrhymes is a melancholic track revisiting past friendships and relationships that could have been special but turned out to be a ‘great nothing’.
Eden whose work is always so personal and candid has this to say about her latest release, “I wrote Great Nothing, about the rise and fall of a frienduationship – which is a word I’ve (maybe?) made up to describe the experience of a friend confess feelings for you and everything gets all weird and messy and tangly. I feel like when Conway and I wrote this song it was like putting all my frustrations of every friendship that went off-piste or person I had liked that hadn’t liked me back, or had but at the wrong time, into a meat grinder and … out came Great Nothing. It’s like the opposite of a great love, it’s the mourning of the potential of a relationship and the confusion and the angst to put everything back where it was.. and all the sinking feelings that come with it.”
Her heavy lyrics and immense voice make her one of the most interesting rising stars in the indie pop scene.
‘Great Nothing’ is available everywhere you get your music, the release accompanied by Eden’s always impressive visuals:
