Review by Wolf Georgia - MUSIC FARMER 5

A Refreshing Pop-Rock Ode to Modern Love

From the very first note, ELOUR's debut full-length album "Blood Running" captivates and invigorates with its magnetic fusion of pop and rock elements, reminiscent of musical icons like Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Blondie, and Garbage. Yet, ELOUR adds their unique touch to the genre, creating a sound that defies easy categorization but will undoubtedly have you tapping your feet and dancing along.


At the heart of "Blood Running" is the enigmatic and powerful voice of lead vocalist Elizabeth Ghandour. Her songwriting is introspective and insightful, exploring the complexities of modern-day love and relationships with a mix of cynicism and playfulness that resonates deeply with listeners. Each track on the album is a melodic journey, unveiling a fresh perspective on the human experience.


The album's standout track, "Fade," is an absolute earworm with its catchy hook and infectious beat. The lyrics evoke feelings of uncertainty and fleeting connections, as Ghandour sings, "I loved you for a day / But when I get to know you / Will the feeling fade." It's a poignant exploration of the transient nature of attraction and the search for something more lasting in today's fast-paced world.

Other standout tracks include the anthemic "Reputation," the feisty "Waste Of My Time," and the sultry "Beautiful Girl." Each song on "Blood Running" showcases ELOUR's ability to craft memorable tunes with irresistible hooks and powerful vocal performances.


Throughout the album, ELOUR demonstrates a remarkable talent for blending pop-rock sensibilities with punk-edged femme rock, resulting in an album that feels simultaneously fresh and nostalgic. It's a perfect soundtrack for those seeking empowerment, authenticity, and a touch of rebellion.


"Blood Running" is an exciting and memorable album from ELOUR, a band that has found a sweet spot between pop and rock while exploring the emotional landscape of modern love. Don't be surprised if you find yourself humming these tunes long after the album has finished playing, as Elour's addictive sound will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. With "Blood Running," ELOUR has emerged as a force to be reckoned with, and we can't wait to see what they do next.

"BLOOD RUNNING" by ELOUR is out on all platforms April 21, 2023!
