Emerging alternative pop musician Elita ties deeply personal themes of anxiety and depression with spine-tingling supernatural elements on addictive EP Anxiety Angel. With hypnotic sonics layered over her haunting vocals, the five-track production is an eerie yet emotive collection of songs capturing Elita’s musical versatility.
Starting off strong with psych-rock sensibilities of “Sour Switchblade,” Elita’s enticing vocal lines weave a tale of seeming romanticism which gives away to something darker and more sinister.On following track, “Satanic Slumber Party,” the rising talent plays into her artistic duality as her innocent airy vocals and a delicate instrumental veil the beginnings of someone’s downfall.
While “Am I Scaring You,” featuring Salem Creeps, is a relatable exploration of dysfunctions in a relationship backdropped against the tensions of the pandemic, Elita switches gears with a softest offering of the EP with “Sucking Souls,” a soothing lullaby doubling as an eerie tale on lost souls.
The EP wraps up neatly with title track “Anxiety Angel,” a cathartic and comforting single tinged with synths and guitars, giving Elita and her listeners a moment to get every burden weighing them down off their chest in a strong but sensitive finish.
Finding solace in music, growing up in the isolated Canadian town of Cupids, Elita’s creative signature lies in her powerful ability to struggles into strength. Her love for singing and music, among various other creative outlets, led her out of loneliness into this career- now with a body of work that’s as haunting as it is healing, she seems to be using that very career to remind other people that they aren’t alone either.
