Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Eleanor Tallie delivers a groove reminiscent of the late legend Teena Marie in the form of a new single called “Promised Land.” The seminal record was penned about a failed relationship, but Eleanor’s deep and layered approach gives various depictions including issues in America’s social and political climates.
“If the glove don’t fit the hand… why pretend you understand?” she strikes. “Afraid of a change… you might just find the promise land.”
“‘Promised Land’ is an expression, describing that sense of peace in relationships with others, and with ourselves.
The song was written in retrospect about a relationship gone wrong, and the conclusions and new hopes that grew from it,” Eleanor tells Singersroom. “Musically, ‘Promised Land’ has a sound I’ve been dreaming and working to create since I started my solo project in 2016.”
Eleanor Tallie has been captivated by the groove of American music since her childhood in Israel. Classically trained on the cello and raised in a household of musicians, she began writing original lyrics and music when she was 12 years old and studied classical music for 15 years. After completing her studies, she traveled throughout Israel performing original songs in Hebrew.
“Eleanor Tallie’s ‘Promised Land’ is a soulful exploration of aspiration and self-discovery. With a groove that blends elements of funk, soul, and R&B, the track invites listeners on a journey toward a brighter, more fulfilling future. Tallie’s expressive vocals take center stage, weaving a tapestry of emotion and conviction.
From the moment the song begins, there’s an infectious energy that sets the tone. The instrumentation features a tight rhythm section, groovy bass lines, and funky guitar riffs that create a vibrant backdrop for Tallie’s dynamic voice. The production is clean yet rich, allowing each element to shine without overpowering the others.
Lyrically, ‘Promised Land’ delves into themes of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams. Tallie’s lyrics are both introspective and universal, resonating with anyone who’s felt the pull of a better tomorrow. The chorus is anthemic, serving as a beacon of light that guides the listener through the challenges and toward the promise of a new day.
Overall, ‘Promised Land’ is a testament to Eleanor Tallie’s artistry, combining musicality and emotion in a way that feels both classic and contemporary. It’s a song that uplifts and inspires, urging listeners to keep moving forward in their own search for the promised land.”
