With an understated yet captivating sound informed by longtime influences like Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell, Sad Bird presents an up-close portrait of heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery. Eloise Alterman boldly pushes outside her comfort zone to craft the kind of timelessly poignant pop songs that cut right to the heart. Songs like “Her” and the deceptively anthemic “Sad Bird Still Sings” – the latter penned while alone in a hotel room near Utah’s Zion National Park – reveal the emotional intensity Alterman has brought to her music since she first started writing songs on the piano in her family’s basement. On “I Still Love You,” Alterman infuses that emotional clarity into a devastating piano ballad, lacing her lilting melodies and choir-like harmonies through a detailed meditation on post-breakup grief. Newly based in L.A. after six years in Nashville, Alterman – whose recent TikTok cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” went viral with over 3M views and 115K likes to date – has already noticed a shift in her self-perception after so thoroughly exploring the many stages of heartbreak. Now, Alterman has revisited the songs of Sad Bird to present a collection of "4AM" versions: "I’ve decided to release stripped back versions from Sad Bird - the way I would sing at the piano by myself at 4am, the loneliest hours of the night. It doesn’t quite feel like morning and it doesn’t feel like night. 4am is the 'in between' where I find myself feeling everything I’ve ran from." - Eloise Alterman
