During the evening of Thursday, July 4 at the Eurockéennes in Belfort, between two drops of rain, the public was able to discover an artist who is increasingly making headlines: Éloi. She has a first album under her belt, Last Storma magnetic presence on stage, and a way of juggling between genres that perfectly defines his generation.
Éloi is a magnetic, elusive artist, as each piece stands out from the previous one. If we can grasp the moment when the young woman became known, it would surely be when she released an unexpected cover, I love itreinvention of a title by another artist very far from her universe, Wejdene.
Because Éloi navigates rather in electronic lands, even if rock is never far away. The title of his first album, Last Stormreleased in October 2023, was not chosen at random.I wouldn’t say it defines me, but it defined me at the time I did it.explains Éloi. For me, it was really a kind of electric charge, of emotions, very jumbled and very intense in the same project. So I needed to say that I was making a kind of last storm to grow. And I have something less, a charge less, it’s a bit of a relief to have finally released it.“
Like many artists of her generation, around her twenties, she composed and recorded a lot in her corner, building a hybrid universe, made of loops, auto-tune, catchy choruses and strong rhymes. She built herself musically by going out to party, a lot, even before the legal age. She discovered “artists in alternative places“, scenes “which are very different from what we hear on the radio“. What he also liked about this environment was “the fact of emancipation, of transgression, there were many things associated with that, but the music was still quite central“. And if her next project is already ready, she is enjoying an intense summer discovering, on stage, that her music already touches a lot of people.
Éloi will be at the Musilac festival on Friday July 12, at the Vieilles Charrues on July 14, before performing at the Olympia on April 1, 2025.
