NEWS - Alt Pop Anthem from Prague-based artist Elisa May
Elisa May is an alternative pop artist hailing from the vibrant city of Prague. Her music resonates with a maturity that explores themes of darkness, anger, and the complexities of human emotion. Her hypnotic soulful vocals weave a rich tapestry of sound that intertwines elements of jazz.
Offering listeners a raw and unfiltered glimpse into her world, Elisa May unveils her latest single "Black Lines." Originally written when she was just 16 years old, alongside musician and producer Gregory Darling, the song delves into a time where Elisa May was in the midst of a toxic environment. The songwriter shares, "I was sixteen. I hated my parents. I hated my boyfriend. I hated everything and the world was unfair. Teen angst, baby."
Sonically, "Black Lines" emits a haunting, yet healing atmosphere, as Elisa May's soulful vocals meander over delicate strings, driving percussion and echoing piano. She chants, "You just brought war everywhere with you, every little wrong detail made you look blue, you hide your white lies in between the black lines, you sit all alone like a fucking psychopath."
