OUT HERE

Song Release date: 26/07/24
Genre:  Indie Pop / British Soul

 ‘Don’t bring me down, I’ve been trying for so long’ is the pivotal sentiment of Eva Gadd’s new song Out Here, and when first written, these words were about matters of the heart, but the British Soul Pop artist was moved to revisit the lyrics more recently because the words rang so true as a description of her journey as an emerging singer songwriter and performer.

A sensitive intro builds to a driving beat showcasing Eva’s angelic vocal in what becomes an empowering indie pop anthem about choosing your own path and overcoming judgement.  In parts, upbeat enough to dance to, Out Here is also the perfect backdrop to relax and unwind. London based producers Andrea Trevisan and Lucas Miles worked with Eva to create a track full of light and shade from rousing instrumentation including piano, synths, guitars and drums to the uplifting dreaminess of an almost Acapella bridge into the chorus. 

Whilst Out Here was born from a vocal about about a romance, it has grown into a feisty call to shrug off naysayers and self doubt and follow your own path.  Eva is super encouraged that this message is resonating with her social media fans who have used clips of her song in their own posts. One recent TikTok video of Out Here garnered many thousands of  views with comments like “a gentle summer breeze and the sun on my back” and “feels so fresh – it makes me want to go for a walk and clear my head.”

Says Eva, “Choosing to be a creative artist or performer is not everyone’s idea of a sensible career, and I’ve experienced questions like “but when are you going to get a proper job? and “are you making money yet?” Being made to feel niaive, unrealistic, even stupid for pursuing music by people who want to bring you down to earth isn’t fun, but I’m tuning out those comments, and in Out Here I want to prove them wrong, but also acknowledge how lonely doing something different than the crowd can be.  Ultimately though, the message is positive; In the second verse the words “I would walk this earth to find you” describe myself now, and my future self, knowing deep down, I’ll only reach that person I’ve wanted to be since I was little by staying true to myself.”
