Eleni Drake Shares Stunning New Single ‘A Wonder Day’ – A Soulful Ode to Friendship and Nostalgia

British-Greek singer-songwriter and producer Eleni Drake has kicked off 2025 with the release of her deeply moving new single ‘A Wonder Day’. Known for her emotive storytelling and genre-blurring production, Eleni’s latest release blends lush lap steel, violin, banjo, and trumpet into a warm, cinematic soundscape that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Co-produced alongside Frank Colucci (Ashnikko, Ethel Cain), ‘A Wonder Day’ is a heartfelt tribute to a cherished friendship — a celebration of unconditional love, joy, and connection. 

“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.” – Eleni Drake.

Having built a cult following through her self-released work and praised by outlets like The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland, and The Independent, Drake continues to captivate with her soulful, reflective sound.

With over 40 million streams and appearances at The Great Escape and SXSW, Eleni Drake’s upward momentum shows no sign of slowing in 2025.
