Eiza Murphy returns with her next single ‘Conman’, which was written by Eiza and produced by her sister Lenii.
‘Conman’ sees Eiza deliver a stirring vocal performance that begins with a calming piano melody before switching gears to more of an upbeat arrangement.
The song is about being deceived by someone and becoming closed off or emotionally unavailable.
It was the fastest song Eiza had ever written, and the track has not changed since the day-one demo.
Eiza and Lenii felt that changing anything would have subtracted from the rawness of the production and vocals.
Over the last few months, Eiza has been finalizing her debut EP and writing songs for other artists – including ‘100 Degrees’, which is the latest single from Kenzie Ziegler.
In ‘Conman’ Eiza gets straight to the point, using conversational but cutting language to depict her anger and frustration.
You can hear Eiza’s Irish storytelling roots in her lyrics, and her distinct artistry shines through her melodies.
Eiza explains that she wrote Conman in fifteen minutes while my sister had friends over.
“I sang really quietly so that they wouldn’t hear, and basically just word-vomited the whole song into the mic.
I was completely unattached to it at first because I thought it was too blunt, but my sister and I were supposed to work on a different song that day and when I played her the demo of Conman, she refused to work on anything else.
So, Conman was started and finished that day, and hasn’t been touched since. Making music with my sister is always my favourite thing to do, and we had so much fun making this song.
It’s brutally honest because I never thought it would come out, but here we are.”
