Elley shares what ‘PHOENIX’ means to her, expressing that; “This album was created at rock bottom. I felt like a caged bird for so long who was finally set free so now I’m learning how to fly and these songs are the experiences of my soul and my voice where’ve I’ve been and where I’m headed. I went through a toxic relationship, break ups, betrayals, addictions, having my body and heart feeling like it was breaking beyond repair, having no money, to getting a regular job and people saying I was through. But I knew I wasn’t done. I’m a fighter and I’m resilient and I fought to let the old die to be reborn into something I’ve always known I AM. I hope this album can speak and inspire anyone who’s going through something that YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT BUT YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO THE WORK AND KNOW YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS AND LOVE AND A LIFE WORTH LIVING.”
With her fair share of viral moments on TikTok and chart successes throughout her career, Elley Duhé never fails to captivate her audience with her artistry. She continues to do so with ‘PHOENIX’, as she brings fans of left-pop music, anthem after anthem and does so with a particular sense of emotionalism. There is a clear sense of fight and strength inside her that comes out in her emotive lyricism, which stems from her turning her pain into passion.
With this new collection of music, Elley shows her vast diversity as a singer today, with the record spanning a variety of genres and styles, with electro-pop at its core. ‘PHOENIX’ finds her playing with both her renowned high energy electronic-pop sound on tracks like ‘FREE ME’ as well as a more stripped back, vulnerable example of her artistry, with ‘FIGHTING FOR’.
The album is made up of singles ‘MIDNIGHT OIL’ AND ‘DELIRIUM’, which having been released earlier this year was described by tastemakers Wonderland Magazine as “a refreshing, sparkling, and high energy electronic-pop masterpiece.” Additionally, the record features a glistening assortment of thirteen other brand-new tracks, which bring the listening experience to life, filling your ears with a colorful burst of electro-pop splendor.
More on Elley Duhé…
Elley Duhé’s music is about finding hope in the face of whatever faces you. “I have so much light and positivity in me, but I also have shadows,” she says. “It all coexists in harmony.” The musician’s love for music began early in small southern towns surrounded by her musically inclined family. By 14, she was writing her own songs on guitar, and it proved to be a lifeline. Empowered by her newfound creative voice and having soaked up the sounds and the soul of the south, Duhé could feel that her ambition was calling her elsewhere.
In the past few years, Duhé has gone from playing cafes, bars, and private parties to playing at Coachella and Lollapalooza, signing with RCA and dropping her 2016 debut single: the blissed-out lullaby of “Millennium” with Tarro. Since then, across a long run of smash singles and the personal but pristine pop of her Dragon Mentality EP, Duhé has racked up millions and millions of streams, recorded with the likes of Gryffin and Zedd, and formed a tight and unbreakable bond with her legions of fans online. Duhé’s most recent single, “Middle of the Night,” has once again blown her fans away with over 1.9B streams on DSPs and became RIAA certified platinum and multi-platinum worldwide. With global recognition and an increasing following, Duhé says, “When I see the streaming numbers, it’s just a reminder of the impact and that the knowledge is right. It’s not like I had a delusional dream, it’s really happening.”
