Head In The Clouds is the debut studio album from Pop singer Eilidh. It will be released on July 21st, 2017 through FivePeskyKids. Prior to releasing the album, Eilidh was featured on multiple tracks featuring big names such as Isabel, Kourtney, and Austin Nimmo. After the success of those songs, fans often wondered if the young, bubbly singer would release her own music. As time went on, Eilidh would announce she was in fact releasing an album in 2017 during the summer. While she may have gotten the release dates mixed up, previously tweeting the album would be released in May instead of July, her fanbase was waiting every step of the way for her debut effort. The first track she was feature on was with Kourntey Steele in "In My Head" which managed to debut in the top 5 on Airplay and Digital charts. The single has sold over 2 million units to date as well. After that, Eilidh was asked to collaborate with Isabel on her album, "All Eyes On Me" on the track "Muse" which was nominated for several awards at the 5th annual Fan Choice Awards. Following that, Eilidh teamed up with Pop superstar Austin Nimmo for "City That Never Sleeps" which managed to be Eilidh's first number one collaboration. It would be in 2015 when she would release her own solo effort in "Cupid's Aim." The track would go on to be one of the most streamed tracks on Spotify and would be debuted at the Chaos Awards in her very first live performance. Critics praised the singer's vocals and ability to sing live which has become increasingly rare over the years in the industry.
Although the singer took time away from the industry to take care of her two children, Roo and Rocco Ward, she would return in 2016 to drop her first single from her debut album. There were teasers set up on her official website until the song was dropped in March. "What You Mean" would reach number one and become her very first number one as a solo artist. Eilidh would also release two more singles in "Before Your Body" and "Sweetest of Dreams Feat. Deneil" which would also debut at number one, giving her a total of three number ones from her debut album. Executive Producer Eris Montoya describes the album as a "Mixture of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream and Ariana Grande's My Everything, although with lesser R&B influence." The album has a very Pop feel to it with some Electronic and House influences but for the most part it is a Pop album. Lyrically, the album features songs about self-love, empowerment, love, and acceptance. While sonme of the songs seem very serious, there are quite a few that are full of fun and bubbly nature that Eilidh is known for. She shows us different sides to her all the while keeping her integrity.
Eilidh teamed up with some of the best of the best in terms of songwriters and producers including; Christopher Hudson who has made a name for himself creating some of the industry's top hits over the last few years, Max Martin, Dylan Shaw, who had a hit EP and is currently writing a lot for other artists, as well as Sunny Monroe who has also made a name for herself writing some of the biggest hits out today, Eris Montoya, Sara Hollywood, Dreamlab, Nick Monson, Freedo, David Stewart, and more. While Eilidh doesn't take any songwriting credits on the album, it doesn't stop the songs from being and less hers as she uses her voice to make each song her own.
Eilidh started initial recording of the album in 2015 after she had already recorded Cupid's Aim. The idea for the album was for her to have her very own "Teenage Dream" type album but in her own way. The album serves as a small introduction into the girl we only know from social media. Critics have said the album makes a point of reinforcing the idea that Eilidh is no longer simply known as "Oscar Ward's girl" but instead she is her own person, her own artist, and her own brand (which she touches on in "Before Your Body"). The album does a good job of her being able to touch on different subjects as well as showing her views on her fame and everything around her. While Eilidh gives us that innocent, bubbly image we're used to, she's not afraid to show us a softer, sexier, and more determined side of her, especially in songs like "Permission", "What You Mean", "Cupid's Aim", "No Boys Allowed", and "Sweetest of Dreams".
There are currently two versions of the album; the standard version which features 12 songs and the Deluxe edition which features 2 bonus tracks plus "Cupid's Aim" which can only be downloaded from the iTunes version of the album.
