Seusai merampungkan turnya ke Singapura dan Filipina, band indie beraliran trip-hop, Everybody Loves Irene atau ELI, bercita-cita menembus Eropa.
”Mimpinya begitu, kami bisa tur ke Eropa. Musik kami banyak dipengaruhi Eropa, jadi bohong kalau kami tidak punya mimpi ke sana,” kata Aulia Naratama, synthesizer ELI.
Menurut dia, musik-musik ELI yang banyak dibuat dalam bahasa Inggris memang lebih disukai di Eropa. Tahun 2007, saat lagu ELI masuk album kompilasi di Perancis, Electozone, mereka ditawari tur ke Paris.
”Tetapi waktu itu kami tidak punya sponsor,” kata Aulia.
Selain Aulia, anggota ELI lainnya adalah Irene Yohanna (vokal), Yudhi Arfani (gitar), Dimas Andinityo (bas), dan Mulyadi Triharsono Imam (drum).
Di bawah bendera label indie demajors, ELI dua kali mengeluarkan album, yaitu On Second Thought, I Might Wanna Change Some Things (2008) dan The Very First Thing You Must Learn About Flying is Gravity (2006).
Di radio online, seperti last.fm, lagu-lagu ELI dari album pertamanya banyak didengarkan orang Eropa. Di Asia, ELI juga mendapat respons bagus dan mendapat penghargaan Asia Voice Independent Music Awards (AVIMA) untuk lagunya ”Love is so Strange” sebagai Moody-Melancholic Masterpiece, akhir Maret lalu.

Lyrics “Love Is So Strange”
How can I go through when my mind’s full of you
What can I do you make me feeling blue?
I don’t want you and I don’t need you
But it’s true
REFF:
I still remember that name and play in that game
I don’t understand why love is so strange
Release me from this frame
I don’t think I’m feeling fine when you take me to the dine
I was drinking below the waterline
There’s no chance that you will be mine
But it’s true
What can I do? And I still
REFF:
I still remember that name and play in that game
I don’t understand why love is so strange…………………
I still remember your name and play in your game
No one can explain cos love is so strange
Release me from this chain
