It’s something that she’s been performing for a while and describes it as “one of my fav songs on one of my fav albums by one of my fav bands”. It’s a fitting cover of an iconic song and Wilder certainly leaves her own mark. 

Wilder approaches the song differently to Albarn who talk-sings his way through most of the original in his accent heavy, rough but captivating tone. Her vocals are much more whimsical, as she explains to The Line of Best Fit “I always find myself singing along with Damon an octave up, so I’ve left space in this mix for his part when he stops ignoring my letters and duets with me”. Her voice is undeniably youthful but with a grungy edge that stops her from sounding inexperienced or childlike, something she’s mentioned she was critiqued for in the past by judgemental peers.

She wants her music to speak to young girls without making them feel sexualised and you wouldn’t expect any less from Caitlin Moran’s daughter. Her delicate vocals take inspiration from other iconic female musicians such as Bikini Kill and Le Tigre’s Kathleen Hanna who Wilder claims “changed everything”, again to The Line of Best Fit: “It was so subversive how she was saying these really dark and aggressive things but like a cutesy little girl”.

She recently headlined Five Day Forecast at The Lexington and in May of next year will be playing The Great Escape festival in Brighton, fittingly named after Blur’s fourth album. We’re sure she’ll have some more gigs coming up soon so keep an eye on her Instagram (@eaveswilder) and in the meantime listen to some of her original songs to hear some honest and truly vulnerable songwriting.
