Eve Owen previews Aaron Dessner-produced debut LP with new single "Blue Moon"

"Blue Moon" is the third track to be lifted from Owen's debut LP, after previous singles "So Still For You" and "She Says".

Owen says of her new offering, ""Blue Moon" is about unrequited love, but not the hurtful kind. It’s when you love someone so dearly that even if they turn out to be just a friend, you’re grateful. It’s just about being endeared by someone’s mere existence, nothing more nothing less. I was sat in this feeling of admiration and I think when you take it upon yourself to truly accept unrequited love and still keep it, is when you’re finally becoming stronger again. It was the first time I ever sang with electric guitar as opposed to acoustic, and I think Aaron captured that curiosity and excitement of mine really delicately. We wanted to capture some sort of Stevie Nicks atmosphere where I was vocally more free and spontaneous."

Speaking about the recording process of her album, Owen explains, "What I enjoyed most was that there were no rules. I could say or do whatever I wanted without feeling judged, which is the most wonderful feeling when you’re working creatively with someone."

Dessner adds, "We ultimately recorded more than 40 songs over three years, and this first album feels like a collection of them. I enjoyed the process immensely. We felt free to imagine and chase whatever sounds or arrangements inspired us. In the middle of that time, she helped me make a National song called "Where Is Her Head", which she fearlessly sang lead on. There’s so much Eve is capable of and I’m grateful to know her."
