Independent dream-pop artist Eliza Pławecka makes a radiant debut with her haunting single “Crying Land,” released June 14 via Tide Tunes Studio. Conceived in collaboration with producer-composer Barbara Czaja at Kraków’s creative hub Tide Tunes Studio, the track emerges as a cinematic exploration of inner worlds filled with sadness, nostalgia, and delicate beauty.
“Crying Land” is more than a song. It is a tender, slow-burning dreamscape. Eliza’s voice, whispered yet emotionally direct, invites listeners into a private refuge found in silence when reality becomes overwhelming. Critics highlight its emotional power:
“Hypnotizes from the opening notes… a wider spectrum of feelings rare in the Polish alternative scene.”
Inspired by surrealist cinema and symbolic retro aesthetics, Eliza directed and shot a music video set in a melancholic “garden of imagination,” offering a visual sanctuary for emotions we often keep hidden.
The single will resonate with fans of Coals, Lana Del Rey, Aurora, and Agnes Obel.
Tide Tunes Studio, an independent label and production collective under Saabfulness, provided full support, from songwriting and arranging to mixing and mastering. Their mission is to help emerging artists like Eliza bring deeply personal creative visions to life with professional production.
