Eleri Ward lets go and drifts into the unknown with new single “Float.” After turning heads with her electrifying first single “There You Go”, singer-songwriter Eleri Ward invites us into an even deeper, more introspective space with “Float”, the second single from her upcoming album.

Ethereal yet grounded, delicate yet powerful—“Float” is an exploration of surrender, trust, and the beauty of stillness. The song’s layered synths, upright piano, and swirling, almost weightless vocals create a soundscape that feels like drifting through a dream. At the core of it all is Eleri’s signature, mesmerizing voice, wrapping the listener in warmth while challenging them to embrace the unknown.

Where “There You Go” captured the power of moving forward, “Float” flips the script. What if, instead of pushing ahead, we simply let go? What if, instead of fighting the current, we allowed ourselves to drift, to trust, to be?

Her poetic lyrics drive this message home: "What if I just fell into the pool? Open arms, a doubtless dive to blue…” The song isn’t just about slowing down—it’s about embracing the unknown with open arms.

Like “There You Go,” everything you hear in “Float” is Eleri herself. Every instrument, every vocal layer, every element of production—it’s all self-created, making the track even more intimate and personal.

And it doesn’t stop at the music. Even the visuals surrounding the release are entirely self-produced, adding to the song’s deeply introspective and self-actualized nature. In an industry dominated by large teams and external collaborators, Eleri’s ability to craft every aspect of her artistic world makes her a true force to be reckoned with.

Originally from Chicago and now based in New York City, Eleri Ward first made waves with her indie-folk reimaginings of Stephen Sondheim’s work. Her unique interpretations, blending acoustic warmth with haunting melodies, earned critical acclaim from The New York Times, Forbes, and American Theatre Magazine.

Now her original music is taking her into uncharted sonic territory. With a blend of electro-pop, storytelling, and acoustic textures, Eleri is carving out a sound that is uniquely her own—a celestial, ethereal world where introspection meets cinematic grandeur.

Relax, close your eyes and let "Float” take you beyond the stars…

“Float” is available now on all major streaming platforms
