Profound lyrics and powerful vocals unite for an instantly enchanting original sound – Louisiana alternative pop songwriter Elizma crafts a boldly hypnotic new style, with Secrets.
Lyrically fearless in its balancing of haunting imagery and personal anecdotes, Elizma’s unique vocal depth and the rising energy of the beat throughout Secrets consistently offers a welcomed twist of identity and characterful flair to the modern scene.
The song gathers momentum increasingly, forever blending metaphor and realism, as we explore the all-too-familiar topic of substance abuse. The set-up utilises contrast perfectly well, between moments of pace and power and those that pour through with the softness of intimate trip hop or exotic adlibs, and this helps reinforce the push-and-pull dynamic of being trapped in addiction.
A fascinating style, distinct in every way, and a fine example of when creative originality and strength of songwriting unite for a fairly incomparable listen. Hopefully there’s plenty more music on the way.
