Etaoin Reveals Debut Single ‘Bedroom Walls’

Singer-songwriter Etaoin makes a stunning debut with her new single ‘Bedroom Walls’, out now on MADE Records.
The song is the first to appear from a debut EP, due out later in the year. Written entirely on acoustic guitar, Etaoin showcases a fingerpicking style that has a traditional songwriter air to it – only to contradict this sentiment with her bold lyrics and pop melodies. “I feel like a lot of people try to make their lyrics really pretty, but it‘s the real ugly shit that gets me the most. The stuff that really plunges into you and hits you right in the guts. I want my music to be that voice through your headphones when you can’t really talk to your friends about it; a reminder that even though it might be 3am in your bedroom and your whole house is quiet, you’re never truly alone. I’ve never wanted to be that ‘sit down, shut up and look cute’ singer-song- writer girl. I want to speak loudly without fear.”
‘Bedroom Walls’ sees Etaoin put everything on the table. The song came from heartbreak but ended up being about much more than that. “When I listen to ‘Bedroom Walls’ now there’s a sense of waiting for my old self to come back. Not only waiting for someone else, but for yourself at the same time; wanting to be in contact with someone through lyrics, but not actually facing it. Pride can get in the way sometimes, people don‘t wanna look like they care. I‘m so guilty of that, I‘m scared of looking like I care too much. Especially with boys. So I just think of a million speeches, write texts, delete them and ask friends the same question over and over as if they know the answer,” she says.
