Swedish songwriter Elina Stridh, known as Elina, has released her anticipated sophomore EP, Remember.
“This EP is all about embracing change … about accepting that everything is transient … the end of something is always the beginning of something else … even though there is a sentimental undertone to the music … I want it to spark new ways of thinking,” says Elina.
Remember is comprised of six story laced tracks. Each song’s quick rhythmic lyrics and captivating buttered raw vocals transport listeners through mesmerizing acoustic guitar waves.
Elina has penned for artists such as Zara Larsson, Astrid S, and NEIKED. The transition from songwriting to performing has been enlightening for Elina, who notes, “I had written a few songs I really loved but hadn’t been picked up by any artist, so I decided to release them myself. Creating this artist ‘persona’ and everything is still very alien, but making music on my own terms has been such a healing experience.”
The Remember EP punctuates a breakout year for Elina, whose songs have garnered 150MM+ Spotify streams.
