Upcoming artist Elba Rose is an alternative pop artist originally from Cambridgeshire, currently based in Brighton crafting moody alt-pop tracks with hip-hop-influenced drum sounds and patterns. Growing up in the fens in Cambridgeshire the youngest of three, Elba was surrounded by varying music tastes; from the 60s and 80s music through her parents to Rap, Hip Hop, and Brit-pop from her older siblings. Moving to Brighton for university, Elba was submerged in a diverse music scene and met her now producer RUINER. Coined as “a songwriter that needs to be played loud” by Clout, Elba has released seven tracks including remixes from producers MACAQ and FARSI and acoustic versions. For her latest releases, she has received support from BBC Introducing Cambridgeshire, featuring on the show as a Spotlight artist as well as earning track of the week for her acoustic version of her track ‘wildlife’. Following the release of her newest single “diamond like” she projects a nostalgic sound that will surely grasp your ears. Beginning with soothing instrumentation leading onto her sweet and sultry vocals she completes the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it explores Elba Rose’s struggles with mental health. Starting with an intimate vocal over a synth, the track’s first chorus will peak listeners’ eardrums with a drop into a hip-hop-inspired drum pattern, distorted synths and bass, and an 808 with Elba’s layered ethereal vocals on top. To the vocals and production, this single will certainly have you vibing. It would be just perfect for a late-night drive or alone within your thoughts. Go stream “diamond like” and check out her discography which is filled with phenomenal music.
