Blood Running by ELOUR

I see my music as empowering for females because of my
honesty. I think women often try to keep our emotions in check
because it’s so easy to be called crazy or hysterical, or to be
seen as “too much” or too intense or aggressive, while males
seem to get away with much more, without being labeled or
ostracized. I like to lean into those labels and challenge those
stereotypes by showing that there is strength in showing
emotions, even if they’re emotions that are discouraged for
women, such as lust, rage, or anger. “Good Girl” challenges the
notion that women should suppress valid emotions in order to
satisfy some external (patriarchal) version of “good.”
“Reputation” and “Beautiful Girl,” each in their own way, go
farther and recommend throwing off unhealthy, limiting societal
chains.

I titled my album “Blood Running” after a lyric from the song “Ha.”
The song displays the anger I felt after a relationship breakup,
but underneath the anger was immense hurt. I was unseen and
my pain and struggle didn’t matter. I feel it’s a bit of a female
anthem because as females we are often dismissed or go
unacknowledged. We play so many valuable roles in a society
that is still run by men. Our effort seems endless and often we
are left feeling powerless. It’s my hope that the album inspires
people, and women especially, to find validity in all their
emotional expression, and to claim their own power.

Emotions erupt in Elour's punk-edged femme rock, resulting in catharsis and empowerment. Elour features the alluring songs, vocals, and stage presence of classically trained Elizabeth Ghandour. See heighburners.bandcamp.com for Elizabeth's Americana/Folk music.
