ELKAE Releases New Single ‘Signal’
I've never been in this situation but I love how ELKAE perfectly captures that experience through her songwriting and describes the struggles and conflicting feelings of being in a love triangle. This message is wrapped around a memorable 70s-infused disco and funk production packed with lush bass and guitar riffs that got me hooked to it just after the very first seconds. I am a fan of ELKAE's warm, soulful vocals and how they soar effortlessly over the infectious electronic, soul-funk fusion that is guaranteed to get you grooving.
This is just the song I needed to get me in a good mood as its infectious production makes me want to get up and dance, forgetting about all my problems. If you're into funk-driven, disco-tinged pieces of soulful electronic music with lush vocals and infectious melodies, then you'll love Signal. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, ELKAE said,
A while ago, a friend of mine had found herself in a love triangle and had been confiding in me about it. She’d fallen in love with a girl, who was already in a long term relationship, and the girl had also fallen in love with her. The girl was planning on leaving her partner for my friend, but was struggling to actually bite the bullet and do it. What was intended to be a clean cut, and the beginning of a new honest relationship, turned into an affair that dragged out for months while the girl came to terms with the reality of starting over with someone new and hurting her current girlfriend.
My friend both sympathised with how hard it was for the girl to leave her partner and also became quite frustrated and morally conflicted and suspicious of her intentions as time went on. I wrote “Signal” from my friends point of view and as this is my first release where the song isn’t directly about a personal experience, I decided to tell it through the story of an astronaut who has found herself falling in love with a beautiful alien on another planet and is now torn between her long term lover home on earth and this extraterrestrial alien who has mesmerized her. The song is written from the aliens POV as she grows impatient waiting on her astronaut to leave her lover.
