Eli's "Marianne" Is A Glittery Pink Cocktail of Pop Perfection

Make way for your new favorite it-girl, Eli. Her latest single, “Marianne,” is a glittery cocktail of 20th century blasé and the complexities of girlhood. 

“Marianne” is pristine & pink, pop to the core. Pulling on a range of influences between the star, Eli, and her producer, Jason Vance Harris, the song opens with guitar chords reminiscent of mk.gee in their evocative voicings. Soft around these chords is a blissfully classic pop arrangement, with a resounding bass thrumming centric in the mix and bell-like 90s synths. 

Riding shotgun to Eli’s popstar vocals are the live orchestral strings that cascade counter-melodically throughout the track. The delicacy and romance of the strings tiptoeing along Eli’s masterful melodies gives the track an intimacy. It wears the feminine hypnotism of Mariah Carey like a pink fuzzy robe, bolstered by an awareness of the modern pop industry that allows Eli to give listeners exactly what they’ve been missing from music. 

While Eli’s mastery of pop perfection stands alone as a reason to join her fanbase, it’s this chronically-online, Stage Girl aura that provides another tidal wave of charm. Rising to popularity through screen-recorded videos on her MacBook’s Photo Booth as she sang unreleased, Eli’s authenticity caught the eye of artists like Doechii, Troye Sivan, Lola Young, Lizzy McAlpine, Meghan Trainor, Baby Tate, and more. 

“Marianne” is just the beginning of this icon’s journey, and now’s the time to get in line before Eli is selling out stadiums across the world.
