  New Year's Eve (Give Me Something Good)

  New Year’s Eve (Give Me Something Good) is the latest single from Eden Iris. Drawing from her folk-roots and love of stringed instruments such as the banjo and the cello, Eden weaves these timeless instruments into a contemporary setting with a heart-wrenching and infectious hook. The song tells a bittersweet story of a relationship on the rocks on New Year’s Eve. “New Year’s Eve (Give Me Something Good) is something like a bittersweet plea to a lover - or perhaps to time itself. On a night where there are certain expectations and pressures (to go wild and bring in the new year in with a BANG, to have someone to kiss when the clock strikes midnight) this year, like everything else - the event will be staggeringly different for many of us. But a part of me is sure that with this year’s more modest celebrations, where we will have virtual parties in our quiet houses, and faces may be lit up by candles more than fireworks - we will bring in 2021 with sincere hope, prayers, and gratitude. Because we care about each other, and we simply need each other. If you’ve ever had a lonely New Year’s Eve, or if you’re dreading it this year, I hope you relate to this song.” - Eden Iris

  Young Guest (featuring Lucie Hill)

  "Young Guest" is an endearing collaboration between two artists who both have strong roots in New Zealand. Lucie Hill (formerly known as Little Lapin), met Eden Iris at her show at the Portland Public House in Auckland, NZ, in early 2014. Several weeks later they were touring New Zealand together and encouraging each other to write as much as possible. “Young Guest” was written when Lucie (now residing in Cornwall, England) and Eden (currently in Burbank, California) reconnected during the pandemic and felt inspired to write together. After an initial break-through on a co-writing session over Zoom, Eden then began recording and producing “Young Guest” in her home studio. The song resembles elements of Eden and Lucie’s folk/singer-songwriter roots, but also draws inspiration — both lyrically and sonically — from Kate Bush. “To me, Young Guest is about making peace with who you used to be, and the choices you made when you were younger... being kind to your old self.“ - Eden Iris
