Eaves Wilder – Little Miss Sunshine

In April 2026, Eaves Wilder releases her eagerly anticipated debut album Little Miss Sunshine. The record marks a stellar evolutionary leap for the North London singer-songwriter who first came to attention back in 2020, aged 16, with her self-recorded lockdown release Won’t You Be Happy. Eaves began working on Little Miss Sunshine after a period of reflection which saw her question whether she could ultimately do justice to the music in her head.

Time spent with the record will reveal ten songs that look to the cycles of nature to explain and celebrate the emotional weather that makes us human. “At my lowest,” recalls Eaves, who at once point even laughs as she recalls how she resolved to give up music altogether with a view to entering a convent: “I just wanted to be unhuman, unfeeling and unmoved. Like a mountain or a tree. Or the sky. These are all things that have a purpose but I didn’t know what my purpose was. And so what I had to was figure it out, song by song.”

On Little Miss Sunshine, it’s a story told in thrilling instalments, from the opening seconds of the album’s sonic establishing shot and lead single Hurricane Girl a sensational synergy of diaphanous shoegaze harmonies and elemental rock guitars inspired by watching documentaries about storm chasers, using the metaphor to shine a light on friends who have been compelled to seek out tempestuous relationships. “I feel like this is my Pearl Jam song,” she explains, “The first time I ever listened to Pearl Jam. I was up this huge mountain in Wales. In the same week, I also heard Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette for the first time.”

From here, right through to its achingly evocative requiem to childhood Summer Rolls, each song on Little Miss Sunshine acts as shining a co-ordinate in an arc of self-discovery.
