Fresh from her first ever headline shows, triumphant with two sold-out Melbourne shows, rising artist Eliott announces today her debut EP Bold Enough will be released Friday Sept 14th out through Island Records/Universal Music Australia.
Included on Bold Enough will be her achingly beautiful singles “Figure It Out”, “Over &Over” and “Calling”.
Today, the 21-year old has also shared a live version of her current single “Calling”. The raw beautiful performance shot at Edinburgh Gardens in Melbourne, showcases Eliott’s awe-inspiring, powerful vocals noted by numerous glowing reviews of her live and recorded music. The original version performed on piano has been adapted to acoustic guitar with alt-folk artist and WA Folk Music Song of the Year award winner, Riley Pearce lending his musicianship to the performance.

The Bold Enough EP was written and recorded last year with songwriter and producer Jack Grace. The result is a thoughtfully recorded 6-track EP with production that never overwhelms, giving Eliott’s inimitable vocals room to soar. A multi-instrumentalist, Grace also played piano, synth, bass, organ and guitar alongside Randy Merrill on the record. Other contributors include LUCIANBLOMKAMP who co-wrote “Over & Over”, Kuren, who co-wrote “Calling”; Hanna Olikov (cello), Bridget O’Donnell (violin) and Simon Lam, who mixed the EP.
Eliott first cut her teeth at singing and songwriting while growing up in the small town of Cobram, Victoria. At four-years-old, she was singing, and at fourteen, she was penning her first original songs on guitar. She performed in local theatre productions and played gigs around her hometown but it wasn’t until Eliott found herself at a crossroads that her music really started to take shape.
At eighteen, she was studying performance in Melbourne but felt unmotivated and unsure of herself. She was struggling to write songs and questioned whether she was going down the right path. In 2016, when she was nineteen, she packed her bags and went to the Blue Mountains. Only meaning to stay for 3 months, she was there for nearly a year and it was here in this insular quiet enclave, away from the noise of the city, Eliott finally focused on her craft and songs just poured out of her. Much of Bold Enough was written during her stay.
Today’s announcement’s arrive after her recent collaboration with LUCIANBLOMKAMP, “Doing This For You feat. Eliott”, was added to (spot) rotation on triple j this week.
Eliott will be supporting No Mono in Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne on their National Album Tour as well as Big Sound Festival. Full details below.
