Returning with a strikingly honest and personal album that delves deep into the artist's battle with mental health.The new project Power Of Panic from rising songwriter Elohim was Initially envisioned as a triumphant celebration of overcoming anxiety and panic, the album’s creation faced significant setbacks. Singles like "Can't Remember Your Name," "Tiny Human," and "Didn't Sign Up For This," released in early 2024, set the stage with their poignant reflections on memory loss, societal pressures, and overwhelming responsibilities.
Despite Elohim’s plans for a headline tour and a celebratory album release, her old adversaries—anxiety, dissociation, and panic disorder—resurfaced intensely. This led to a dependence on Benzodiazepines, necessitating a painful withdrawal process. As her vision crumbled, she was forced to cancel her tour and reconsider the album’s release entirely.
Through this tumultuous period, Elohim rediscovered the dual nature of panic's power—both its capacity to destroy and its potential to transform. Power of Panic was born from this raw, unfiltered reality, embodying her struggle and resilience. The album, praised on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, channels her deeply personal experiences into a profound narrative. Elohim's work not only entertains but also ignites vital conversations about mental health, making "Power of Panic" a significant release of 2024. Even without the envisioned stage lights, this album's honest portrayal of personal turmoil and triumph stands as a testament to her unyielding spirit and artistic vision.
I still can't help but wonder what this would all be like in a parallel universe where I've conquered my struggles, where I'm on stage again performing for thousands. That's the dream and I promise you I will never give up on that. The reality is so much more complicated, broken, and yet still beautiful. Power of Panic is yours: no stage, no lights, and that has to be enough for now.
