Stunning, emotive, vulnerable and haunting. “Like A Piano” has the quality that immediately draws you in its moody, cinematic sonic world, and into the intimate heart space after midnight. It leaves you forever haunted by Elizabeth A Eckert’s musical phantom. After completing a record label deal, the virtuoso pianist and singer-songwriter is ready to take fans on an immersive musical odyssey.

As a song about heartbreak, “Like A Piano” reminds you of Adele, with the similar catharsis and massive momentums.

Read our interview with Elizabeth A Eckert below where we talk about how “Like a Piano” comes to fruition.

Punk Head: I like your voice in “Like A Piano”. What is the creative process like?

Elizabeth A Eckert: For me it all starts with the emotion. After waking up at 3am, I wrote this song in a dimly lit basement Nashville. I play and sing while I’m writing so the music and lyrics come at the same time.

PH: What do you like the best about this track?

Eckert: I love the way it starts with a haunting, mournful piano part that repeats over and over. The song gets really powerful in the chorus and bridge and then returns to that familiar piano melody.

PH: What do you aim to accomplish in the near future?

Eckert: Having just completed a label deal, I’m really excited to release this batch of singles on my own! I love bringing fans into the creative process by sharing ‘behind the scenes’ stuff on social media.

PH: Did you have any songs/artists that you listened to or thought about while making the single?

Eckert: More than anything I’m inspired by Nashville’s talented songwriters and the craft of writing great songs.

PH: What is the one thing that you’d like your fans to know about you?

Eckert: I’m just a girl who takes her emotions and experiences and shares them in the form of songs. Sharing with listeners who want to hear what I have to say is a huge gift.
