There’s a certain sense of empowerment in being in charge of your artistic process. Being able to craft your music exactly like you want it, in your own personal spaces, without compromises (except your own limits). That’s what bedroom pop has always been about, blessed by the advance in recording technology. Needless to say, peeps have been doing amazing records on their own for years now. American talent e!ena follows this exact aesthetic, by debuting with a mesmerising record, ‘bittersweet’, written and produced by herself in her bedroom.
e!ena turned to music as a way to cope with personal challenges. Creativity and personal expression helped her cope with ADHD and anxiety, providing an outlet for internal struggles. Describing being aware of your own sexuality, the debut single also wants to shine a light on the general sense of uneasiness and stress we all feel when growing up.
So, what can you expect from ‘bittersweet’? While you won’t find a perfect production or a world-class sound, you’ll find pure, unfiltered musical magic by an artist who has a lot to say, and will do so proudly. We believe in talent and ideas over everything else, and that’s exactly what we found in e!ena’s music. Recommended!
