Romain Gutsy’s latest single, “Eloisa,” released on September 19th, is a charming love song and a tribute to his wife that touches your heart with its catchy beats and enchanting riffs. The track opens with an irresistible groove that draws you in, and Gutsy’s deep, gravelly voice brings a storytelling element that immediately grabs your attention. His vocal delivery is intimate yet powerful, reminiscent of legendary songwriters like Jacques Brel and Leonard Cohen.
In “Eloisa,” Gutsy weaves a love story with a depth and passion that feels timeless, much like Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” But unlike Jolene, Eloisa is based on a real love story—one that endures, full of passion, commitment, and longevity, and one of his own. The song’s narrative, rich with emotion, asks the question, asks for reassurance, and obviously gets a long-lasting, endeavoring yes as well.
The music complements the storytelling beautifully. Funky rhythms and a thick, vibrant brass solo in the bridge transport you to a vintage world, blending a sense of nostalgia with modern flair. The groove is hypnotic, with a relaxing organic rhythm that encourages you to nod your head and sway along to the beat. The chorus, with its catchy refrain “Hey Eloisa, Hey Eloisa, don’t let me down / Hey Eloisa, Hey Eloisa, you will never recover,” is irresistibly singable and will have you gushing.
The latest single is no exception to Gutsy’s philosophy of finding light in darkness and much murk in the simplest. And with “Eloisa,” we see how much the singer prioritizes love and harmony. Listen to the heartfelt song on Spotify.
