Eve Berry has hit the pop sphere running with her ethereally dreamy 2010s textures and equally seraphic vocal lines, commanding their way through layers of reverb to entrench the illuminated melodies with emotion that aches with the kind of pain only a cyclical romance can conjure.
back to you is as confessional as a diary entry, an exposition of the darker, often repetitive nature of situationships, where worth is measured in how much time you can kill by their side—until someone shinier walks by. Eve spoke the unspoken, unearthing how the push and pull of an imbalanced romance is the ultimate ego death when the other person is always holding all the cards.
The 21-year-old singer-songwriter and producer from the Southside of Glasgow first found her footing in the city’s live music scene, hitting open-mic nights from the age of 11 before drawing influence from songwriters like Stevie Nicks, Lana Del Rey, and Taylor Swift. Her love for era-defining synth-pop from the 2010s seeps through every note of back to you, a track that carries the weight of nostalgia while feeling like a fresh stab to the heart. Teaching herself guitar before expanding to piano and home production, she built this song from the ground up, knowing it had to be her first release.
For fellow situationship survivors who can’t help but find themselves back where they swore they’d never return, back to you is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
