Eleanor Idlewood does more than just music, she delivers with plot, lush, and a touch of mischief. With the release of The Roommates, Eleanor spins a synthwave track for that playful and neon-lit salute to queer intimacy.
Hailing from Bordeaux, France, the queer French electronic artist thrives in lush and atmospheric synths for that VHS aesthetic feel. If you worship the popular roommates trope, this latest release gives you exactly just that. The Roommates details the story of Sonny and Flint, sleek and unfiltered. Two men perceived as roommates yet behind closed doors and pulled blinds, there’s intimacy and love in full bloom.
The Roommates unravel with whispers and murmurs cradled by thin walls. It was followed by dreamy and futuristic beats that pulses in your ears, bringing that uncontrollable urge to nod and move. It’s such a wonder how this sounds new and familiar at the same time.
Right from the start, the track already established that it’s not going to be soft and gentle. It’s straightforward and unapologetically wild, while Eleanor’s vocals allow you to immerse yourself in Flint and Sonny’s eyes – their romantic glances, sensual innuendos, and nighttime noises. Imagine Depeche Mode and Yazoo singing a slow-burn queer romance narrated through pulsing ’80s synths.
If you want tracks that celebrate choices, identity, and expression, even without other’s recognition and approval, The Roommates by Eleanor Idlewood truly gets it.
