The emerging artist really comes into her own on her fourth track.

Thanks to her vulnerable and emotional sound, Eliza Harrison Smith has quietly established herself as a rousing emerging talent who specialises in crafting thoughtful, sombre songs that feel as heartfelt and resonating as they are engaging.

The latest of which is her new single ‘August’, a deft and poignant release that encapsulates the hangover and bittersweet reality check that comes with the end of summer. In the artist’s charismatic and sweet way, she deals with the end of a summer relationship, and the relatable feeling of being involved in a fleeting romance and wishing that it had stayed. The track feels like Eliza at her most sincere, truly coming into her own as an artist and finding her sound, complete with affable melodies and her unique charm, making it feel both familiar but also fresh and exciting. As summer rolls towards its end the track is the perfect nostalgic soundtrack to look back on it with.
