Are you in search of an urgent distraction from the increasing concern of the Coronavirus?
Or maybe you’re in self-isolation and searching for playlist inspiration.
Or perhaps you simply enjoy hearing something new and soulful from the Scandinavian soul universe.
Whatever your reason, I hope you’re well, glad you’re here, and Elvira Olea‘s debut EP Daydreams will surely satisfy.
A newly unearthed artist, Elvira’s five-track collection encompasses soul sensations from beginning to end.
‘her voice is as warming and comforting as drinking hot chocolate in the snow’
The meditative electronic flow of the single DayDreaming creates the EP’s entrance. Wonderfully ambient, Elvira sings with gentle ease, soothing in lo-fi goodness.
Elviras’ tone, youthful, smooth and brown-sugared, excels on the dreamy and soulful – Keep Going. Burning Up may increase the tempo. However, the clarity of Elvira’s voice remains, and her voice is as warming and comforting as drinking hot chocolate in the snow. Games Honey aches of love lost and sensitively conveys longing and stirring perplexity. This tracks abrupt end is the EP’s only querying moment.
The debut EP from Elvira offers a brief interlude and escape to where love, in all its facets and emotions, resides and presented through a charming, soulful lens.
