The track is the latest in a long line of compelling and relatable singles from the exciting UK singer-songwriter
On her brand new single ‘Great Nothing’, Eden Rain crafts an endlessly thoughtful and melancholy new ballad that explores the unfortunate falling apart of a friendship that could and should have been avoided, with the other person confessing having feelings and everything deteriorating as a result.
The artist’s compelling charm and appeal have always been championed on this site, and each new release from Eden seems to have a renewed sense of composure and guile that feels more mature and nuanced than what came before it. The artist has a sound that feels entirely her own thanks to the powerful nature of her vocals and the engrossing familiarity of her relatable lyrics, and this new halfrhymes produced single continues to highlight why so many are heaping praise on the exciting artist.
Speaking on the story behind her new single, Eden Rain shares that; “I wrote Great Nothing, about the rise and fall of a frienduationship – which is a word I’ve (maybe?) made up to describe the experience of a friend confess feelings for you and everything gets all weird and messy and tangly. I feel like when Conway and I wrote this song it was like putting all my frustrations of every friendship that went off-piste or person I had liked that hadn’t liked me back, or had but at the wrong time, into a meat grinder and … out came Great Nothing. It’s like the opposite of a great love, it’s the mourning of the potential of a relationship and the confusion and the angst to put everything back where it was.. and all the sinking feelings that come with it.”
