In a world that all too frequently careens past meaning, Elysia slows things down with her current release, “He Gave Me You.” It’s not so much a song as a diary entry pried open and set to music, intimate, earnest, and unquestionably authentic. Back in her lane and cruising with determination, Eylsia quickly reminds us that the strongest is the roughest and often only tells it like it is on a song.
With a warmth that feels intimate and yet broadly applicable, it touchingly tugs at your own experiences of love, connection, and gratitude. Its lyrical simplicity is not accidental but rather is by design. All of it, every word, is there as if to say, but also to say, like every sort of quiet conversation that becomes something grand. Eylsia shares that the song is also a discovery she made while finding songs for her soon-to-be-released album. That gives the release even more weight. “He Gave Me You” is an insight into the changing heart of her artistry. It’s that type of song that feels like you’ve just accidentally walked into a story you were supposed to hear.
The melody gushes with a life-affirming lightness, bringing feeling without smothering it. It’s the kind of composition that leaves room for you, encouraging you to supply your memories and emotions. The result is music that sounds like it comes not just from Elysia, but from whoever’s pressing play. On “He Gave Me You,” Eylsia reminds us why her voice is interesting to begin with, thanks to its rawness. This is not another song in the endless queue of modern releases. It’s an endearing statement, a thank-you note through song, and a promise that her subsequent album will be just as sincere.
