British/Greek singer, songwriter, and producer Eleni Drake has released her breathtaking new single “A Wonder Day,” out now on MNRK. Though already a rising newcomer in the UK and Europe, the Athens-based artist is introducing herself to a new audience with her striking first release of 2025. Co-produced with Frank Colucci (Ashnikko, Ethel Cain), “A Wonder Day” marks the beginning of what is sure to be a landmark year for one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets.
A mellifluous arrangement of delicate guitar interspersed with lap steel, violin, trumpets, and banjo, “A Wonder Day” is a bittersweet reflection on nostalgia and missing someone you’ve loved. Speaking on the track, Eleni says: “The song is a thank you to my best friend, the way they spark joy within me, make me feel understood, loved, cared for… A song isn’t nearly enough, but it’s essentially an ode to them. I wanted the music to emulate how I see them. Vibrant, warm, nostalgic.”
“A Wonder Day” arrives on the heels of Eleni’s 2024 EP, Above Deep Water; her first release on the new label MNRK after self-releasing her previous projects. In the process, she’s earned fans along the way, and praise from tastemakers including The Line Of Best Fit, Consequence, The Independent, CLASH, La Blogotheque, Wonderland, and more. 2024 also saw her take her intimate live set to The Great Escape and SXSW festivals.
Eleni’s hauntingly beautiful sound is at once refreshing and timeless, uplifting and introspective, inspired by a deep love of music that spans from Mazzy Star and Adrienne Lenker to Mac Miller and Cleo Sol. With over 40 million streams to date and still only just getting started, 2025 promises to be Eleni’s biggest year yet with her most personal and profound music on the way.
