Eden speaks on the inspiration behind ‘Palo Alto’: “I wrote this song about the unfairness of having things that you like ruined by people you don’t like. How something that you love can turn into something that just reminds you of a person, and you wish you could also ruin that special thing or place they love for them. This song was written by Jack and I on a writing trip in the Yorkshire dales, which thankfully is a place no-one has ruined for me yet…”
After a busy March, performing in Bristol, Liverpool and Leeds, Eden has been taking on the UK music scene by storm, showcasing her talent for connecting with audiences and generating buzz beyond her London base.
Following on from the release of 'Great Nothing' last month, this is Eden's third single of the year, and with each release she is gaining momentum and proving herself to be one of the UK’s most exciting talents. Her unique sound which blends soulful pop and indie elements has seen her acquire a dedicated fan base, and growing presence in the UK music scene.
More on Eden Rain…
Raised in Yorkshire, Eden jokingly describes her early musical upbringing as having a “Von Trapp vibe”, full of long car journeys packed with family sing-alongs to homemade mixtapes, and multi-part harmonies sung with her siblings; “a lovely wholesome relationship with music,” she nods. Having been an avid writer of teenage poetry, she admits with only a mild cringe, it was when she sang Carole King’s ‘You’ve Got A Friend’ at a talent show aged 13 that she began to tie the ideas of writing and performing in her mind. Eden started taking piano lessons and, a couple of years later, began to pen her own music.
If some artists seem to emerge preposterously young and fully-formed, then the fact that it took Eden a while to evolve into the confident artist, sure of her own musical mindset, that she stands as now feels important. She recalls “overthinking it a lot, trying to fit into a niche that already existed” and coming out feeling empty. “The artist I wanna be is a bit rough around the edges - hopefully in a good way,” she continues. “Who I am as a person is a bit of a patchwork quilt of different things. I used to polish myself up for people, but then I looked around and the things that my friends like about me is that I’m a bit frazzled and slightly chaotic; I wanted to lean into that a bit more because that’s more genuinely who I am.”
