Eva Lazarus is well recognised for her ability to expertly navigate musical moods with her larger-than-life voice. The R&B vocalist is back with her scrumptious new single ‘How Am I Looking?’ Dirty Dike (Rag N Bone Man, Ocean Wisdom) produced the single, which is a self-love and self-care anthem with inspiring lyrics and a calming backdrop.
“How am I looking is a love letter to my hair, self-love and self-care. The process, the feeling, the cost and the pride of it all,” Says Eva
Eva is clearly enthralled by skill, spontaneity, and innovation. She simply never felt happy expressing herself through a particular genre. Shifting the momentum when an audience or session demands it is the precise sweet spot in which Eva thrives, and while the results are frequently kaleidoscopic (and utterly delectable when served up perfectly), Eva recognises the necessity for consistency when presenting the whole album works. As a result, she is embarking on a new chapter in her creative journey, one fueled by career-defining sounds.
Growing up in a musical household paved the way for Eva to become the performer she is now. It gave her a profound emotional connection to how different genres make her think and feel, and it started her on a life-long quest for knowledge. Because it focuses on major pillars of her musical background, the most recent chapter in her songwriting canon feels like a sort of homecoming. The end product is a wave she’s longed to make since those primordial sounds flooded her childhood home.
Eva is at a fascinating crossroads, drawing on everything she has learned across genres to create a new sound that is her most stylistically acute to yet, beginning with voice and guitar and stretching through breaks, samples, orchestras, and beyond.
‘How Am I Looking?’ is also accompanied by an official beautiful music video, depicting Eva as the powerful and stylish woman she is. The gorgeous visualizer brilliantly catches the emotion of the song as it walks us through Eva’s caring routine.
“I’m pushing outwards and upwards, musically we’re taking up more space,” Eva adds.
