Elliot Bamโs new piano-driven alternative rock anthem, โHungry For More,โ released September 5, is written and produced by the Liverpool-born multi-instrumentalist and trans artist himself. The track was recorded in a friendโs home studio but sounds stadium-ready with the emotional weight of Fiona Apple and the grandeur of Hozier. Known for weaving identity, activism, and artistry into one thread, Elliotโs latest release brings his own testimony into the heartbreak that has broken us all at some point.
โHungry For Moreโ opens with a hushed piano figure, like a confession whispered in the dark, while Elliotโs deep, velvety voice stretches into its lower registers. Something haunts as his delivery makes you feel the weight of someone carrying anotherโs burdens until theyโve become unbearable. As the steady and deliberate drums enter, they mimic the slow march of frustration, of watching a loved one unravel. When the chorus explodes, it does so with a rush of layered guitars and soaring vocals, turning the quiet pain into an outcry. His vibrato trembles on the edge, quivering with the intensity of the exhaustion and overwhelm, as he seems to beg and accuse all at once.
The lyrics, though simple on the surface, cut with double edges. When he repeats the phrase โhungry for more,โ itโs not just desire, itโs a metaphor for destructive craving, the hunger that devours rather than sustains. The betrayal isnโt just in the actions of a partner, but in their refusal to choose life, love, or safety over the thrill of chaos. By the bridge, Elliot lifts his voice higher, effortlessly cresting over sparkling cymbals and gritty, snarling guitars, as if catharsis itself were breaking through the noise.
โHungry For Moreโ shows how love is lost on self-destruction. And in Elliot Bamโs hands, it becomes a craving. So if you are hungry for more of his music, check him out on Spotify.
