Eloise Viola, an emerging artist known for her dynamic voice and captivating presence, has just released her latest single, "Glasshouse," the title track from her forthcoming debut album. The song, which dropped on May 10, 2024, is a vibrant disco track with compelling staccato strings and infectious hooks, reminiscent of artists like Lizzo and Dua Lipa, yet distinctly her own.
"Glasshouse" is more than just a catchy tune; it addresses serious issues, particularly the harmful beauty standards propagated by media. Viola was inspired to write this song after reading an article that glorified the "heroin chic" aesthetic, a problematic trend from the 90s that celebrated extreme thinness. She channels her frustration and determination into the lyrics, confronting the unrealistic expectations placed on women's bodies.
The song's metaphorical title reflects the album's themes of transparency and vulnerability. Viola describes the "glasshouse" as a symbol of one's mind and body—both resilient and fragile, deserving of care and respect. This powerful message is at the heart of her debut album, which explores personal growth and self-acceptance.
In addition to her new single, Eloise Viola is also launching a podcast titled "Glasshouse: Laid Bare," where she delves deeper into the themes of her album, sharing stories and insights about her journey and the issues she tackles in her music. This multi-episode series aims to offer a more intimate look at the struggles and triumphs that have shaped her as an artist.
