Los Angeles based Irish singer-songwriter Eiza Murphy returns with her new single ‘Acquaintance.’
Written by Eiza and produced by her sister Lenii, alongside Alex Veronneau, the track is about fair-weather friends who only stick around for the good
times.
Eiza wrote this song about a circle of friends from her past that she realized were only ‘party friends,’ with no real depth in the relationship.
This song has reached over a million people on Tiktok in the last few days, with countless strangers sharing their stories of similar experiences.
‘Acquaintance’ feels like an intense release of emotion, with a powerful and hitting production underneath an anthemic melody.
The track radiates with a stirring soundscape and the soulful vocals of Eiza Murphy.
Eiza explains how “this song kind of came out of nowhere. I was sitting in a session when I suddenly felt the urge to write about feelings I hadn’t felt in years.
I used to be in a circle of friends who were only held together by their want to go out, and climb social ladders.
It got pretty nasty and dark sometimes, and felt kind of lonely. I wrote ‘Acquaintance’ in hindsight, even though I felt all those emotions while in that chapter of my life.
This song feels like a long overdue release for me and my younger self, and I think it’s my favourite song yet.”
Eiza is preparing to tour across Europe, supporting NEVE, for the month of May.
The tour will see her perform the song for the first time.
After having music featured in Netflix’s Riverdale series, Spotify’s New Music Friday and Pop Rising, charting at #1 on iTunes Ireland three times and featuring on radio stations such as BBC Introducing and RTE2FM as the Track of The Week, Eiza is excited for this next release.
