“Venusian Light” - Eleri Ward

Feature

21 Mar

Eleri Ward is back, and this time, she’s taking us to another planet. “Venusian Light,” the third and final single before her upcoming album, isn’t just a song—it’s an anthem of self-actualization. A shimmering, celestial ode to self-love, this track is meant to be blasted while staring yourself down in the mirror, feeling every ounce of your own power. Inspired by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and intense heat, Eleri channels that energy into a track that radiates confidence, self-reflection, and the glow of inner joy finally realized.

Sonically, “Venusian Light” is pure alchemy. Eleri blends synths, electric guitar, electronic drum beats, and banjo, creating a soundscape that feels both cosmic and deeply personal. Her signature vocal layering is on full display, with intimate harmonies swirling around her soaring soprano, drawing listeners into a hypnotic, weightless space.

True to her DIY spirit, every part of this release comes from Eleri herself—from the intricate production to the dreamy artwork and the self-filmed, self-edited music video (done entirely on her iPhone). Engineered and co-produced by Allen Tate, with mixing and mastering by Tyler McDiarmid, “Venusian Light” continues Eleri’s journey of bold, unfiltered musical expression.

If you’ve been following her evolution—from her acoustic, indie-folk reinterpretations of Sondheim, which landed her critical acclaim from The New York Times, Forbes, and American Theatre Magazine, to her expanding, genre-blending original work—you already know that Eleri is an artist who refuses to be boxed in. With this new wave of electro-pop-meets-acoustic-texture storytelling, she’s carving out a sonic universe entirely her own.

As she puts it: “Love is a frontier”—and “Venusian Light” is the sound of stepping into it, fully, boldly, and unapologetically.
