In line with the launch of the HUMXN+ playlist on Apple Music, that is updated every Sunday, we will also be giving a regular spotlights to rising artists.
On Feb 14, ELIAS02 who is an Aquarius also born on Valentine’s Day itself, released I Think U Love Me – a single and music video combination delivering smooth and luxurious textured vocals with a futuristic bells and a pop-trap energy. The vocal delivery of the artist’s intricate lyrics flows immaculately with a warm and easy-going tone, but from their pace and depth, ELIAS02 really demonstrates their skill as a multi-genre vocalist.
The video features ELIAS02 owning their energy and performance, delivering an intimate and voyeuristic vibe with a great edit and two dancers lending a Spring Breakers kinda mood. I love how ELIAS02 owns their stage, definitely an Aquarian vibe – and the production of the song is sexy, and we will always support anything manifesting love energy in the vein of the introspective lyrics on I Think U Love Me.
Independent artists who are self-starters with depth and the system sometimes working against them, are often overlooked by the mainstream media and queer press. ELIAS02 today posted on their social media about how difficult it is to break through this and that is why we will be sharing more emerging artists on this platform that deserve to have their stories amplified.
