We recently featured Elisa V when she shared her unique and dimensional debut, Love of Yesterday, so when we heard that the visionary artist was back with How You Feel, we were curious to say the least, and couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in her sonic universe and convey our experience.

How You Feel opens with a pitched vocal singing, “I just wanna know-ow, tell me how you feel… I just wanna know-ow, tell me this is real..” before evolving with a textured riser, expanding claps and a dimensional beat.

Of course, Elisa V‘s violin skills are front and centre with an Eastern-infused melody, intertwined with the dynamic production. We love the astral detailing, the sensual drums and the vocal samples that appear and dissipate.

Overall, the production is immaculate – a reflection of Elisa V‘s industry experience. The cymbals, the violin melody switch-ups and the creative ebbs and flows of the production which keep us enthralled throughout. Fans of Vanessa Mae will absolutely be able to connect with what Elisa is creating. Speaking on her intention, Elisa V simply says, “The idea of my artistry is to show people how classical violin can be trendy, modern and popular.”

Elisa Järvelä, known professionally as Elisa V, is a Finnish violinist who is certainly reshaping the perception of her instrument. A graduate of the prestigious Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, she is celebrated for her emotional depth, stage charisma, and bold creativity that transcend genres and traditions.

Her career has taken her to renowned festivals, luxury venues, and international stages, where she has performed for royalty, world leaders, and even the Pope at the Vatican. Elisa’s performances are known for their immersive, multi-sensory energy.

We love her universe, and have added How You Feel to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY and TIMELESS playlists, whilst we continue to stream Elisa V‘s incredible debut single, Love of Yesterday!
