Co-written and produced with the established Nathan Ferraro, Aria Eden’s first single, “One More Night,” is a stunning entrance into the music scene. Hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Aria makes emotionally charged pop that reaches out and touches the listener to want more.
It opens with the simplicity and emotion the piano chords exude and the space they create—a moving background over which Aria’s voice can soar. The song gains momentum and develops as Aria breathes through her expressive verses and into powerful choruses full of incredible trills, showing her vocal ability and depth of emotion. Each note she sings wraps you up into her lyrical story.
Of particular note within the song is Aria’s collaboration with Nathan Ferraro. From Ontario, a province that birthed some of North America’s greatest musical exports, Nathan has achieved a great deal of success co-writing Beyonce’s number one smash, “Texas Hold’Em,” on her critically acclaimed Cowboy Carter album. He has written for several other superstar pop artists, including significant collaborations on Lady Gaga, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Charli XCX’s records, leaving little doubt in his capability as a man of experience and significant influence on the music scene. It adds an extra bit of nobility to this collaboration, with the backing of a great band that the Midway State frontman hails from. A decade-long friendship and musical partnership have paid off for “One More Night,” blending Aria’s raw talent with Nathan’s seasoned experience.
Aria’s journey to releasing this single is as compelling as the song. It was just around a decade ago that Aria was on the brink of her career, independently supported by a believer in her music. She was performing and meeting with recording labels like Universal and Sony Music. However, no matter how promising the offers seemed, this gutsy artist walked away from a publishing deal she felt was unfair to any recording artist.
That she did not bow to the standard practices of the industry, even when warned off, speaks volumes about the respect and integrity she has for her art. Having just turned 20, Aria juggled University, two jobs, and struggling to make her way in music while living in downtown Toronto, paying high rent. The stress was killing her, so finally, she put her music on the shelf. Now a free and independent artist ready to take on the world and prove all doubters wrong, “One More Night” speaks to your resilience and motivation to always go after dreams.
Aria Eden set the bar very high with “One More Night” in expectations. What holds it all together, that truly makes this rising artist, is her gifted ability to match emotion with her music and stay true to who she is—an artist. This is just her debut single, but if it’s anything to go by, you’re likely to be watching closely for what comes next for Aria Eden.
