Eluize's third album "Believe", shifts between introspection and connection, blending breathy vocals, potent percussion, acidic licks, energetic leads and glistening ambient textures. The opening tracks' song adjacent tones, speak of distrust, escape and addiction. The mood turns at "Light", signalling dawn and a re-kindling of hope, before the pulsing club rhythms on "Believe" and "Captive" invite action and resistance through motion. Electronica swayed moments of respite and reflection can be found in cascading "Impatience" or soaring "Serendipity", before electro leaning "RNA" elicits melancholia dusted optimism and the relief of a return to self.

"I wrote "Believe" in the height of the pandemic, while pregnant with my second son, in my studio in Kreuzberg. I would walk the quarter block through the snow, to a musty, brick basement, try to lose myself in sound, to reflect and imagine what would become of it all. I finished the music as I moved my family across the globe, and without realising it, through the ending of an immensely pivotal chapter of a life. Then it sat, for years, stuck. With great relief, it's finally time to release my white knuckled grip and let it go. I hope it is helpful to some of you, wherever and whenever you are. Love E xo."
