“Wicked Heart” locks in a pocket as big as a Cadillac, with one of Neals’ best vocal hooks. A dash of “Tapestry”-era Carol King along with a mighty Barrett Strong sensibility constitutes an add to any self-respecting blues/pop/soul radio…” Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine 2026

MANHATTAN, N.Y. – Sept. 24, 2026 – PRLog — Eliza Neals known for hard-hitting empathetic blues-rock songs returns with “Wicked Heart,” the third single from her critically acclaimed postmodern Blues album “Thunder in the House.” Following the emotional impact of “Love Will,” “Wicked Heart” delivers a darker urgent message. Against a backdrop of global conflict, corruption, famine, rising prices, child exploitation and seemingly endless wars, Eliza Neals channels her outrage into a powerful soul statement about the forces tearing people apart, all the while comparing similarities to a tainted love affair. From its opening, “Wicked Heart” reaches a fever pitch, confronting the lies, greed and human suffering that have left so many people feeling pushed to their limit. “Wicked heart, tearing me apart”, Eliza Neals draws a powerful juxtaposition: the dysfunction plus betrayal found in a relationship with a very bad dude. A corrupt love affair which reflects a world and it’s leaders struggling with their wicked hearts.

“Wicked Heart’ combines shuffling Rhythm and Blues with straight ahead Rock in a can’t-sit still song.” Living Blues 2026

“Detroit’s Eliza Neals has one of the most underrated Blues-rock voices in the United States… typically jam-packed with soul-infused, hard-riffing, insistent tunes.” Music Connection 2026

“There are many gifted female Blues artists around at the moment, Eliza Neals is as good, if not better than any of the others.” Blues Matters 2026
