ELIO shares new song "Read The Room"

"Read The Room" is ELIO's first new material since November's "SUPERIMPOSE", and is accompanied by news of ELIO's Europe tour dates with Charli XCX in May and June.

ELIO says of the song, "As a female artist making music, going into sessions with predominantly male producers can be a real hit or miss. I’ve had so many times where I’ve walked in a room to write a song and a producer has demeaned my writing or production skills, it’s kind of something that artists like myself have learned to expect - which is extremely unfortunate. "Read The Room" is about one particular session with a producer who was a walking personification of main character syndrome (in all the worst ways). Sadly, this is seen in every industry and day to day life for a lot of women and LGBTQ+ people. We are told to be reserved, to behave, to fit into the mold of what society expects us to be - "Read The Room" is my way of owning that narrative."

She will join Charli XCX on tour in Europe from 25 May until 7 June, beginning in Paris and ending in Madrid.

Back in May last year ELIO released her ELIO and Friends: The Remixes EP featuring Charli XCX, No Rome, Chase Atlantic, BLACKSTARKIDS and more.
