ELENA ERIN – “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
Recognized for her vibrant, creative flair, Canadian Alternative Pop sensation Elena Erin crafts striking fusion of Alternative, Electronic, and Dance influences, underscored by her emotionally resonant storytelling. Her breakout single, “Build A Ship,” soared to #2 on the CBC Top 20, propelling her onto the international stage and inviting over four million streams across her repertoire Elena Erin’s music has been on SiriusXM, across Canadian radio, and on blogs and podcasts around the globe. Likened to trailblazers such as Billie Eilish, Halsey, Gwen Stefani, and Cyndi Lauper, Elena Erin masterfully intertwines her sharp, introspective lyrics with intricately designed melodies. From a small town in northern British Columbia, to a prominent figure in the UK music scene, the Berklee College of Music graduate captivates audiences at every turn with her avant-garde musical approach.
Turning her cinematic life story into universally relatable anthems, Elena Erin’s music masterfully covers contemplative themes of loneliness, growth, and not everything being as it seems. As she prepares for the release of her third studio album, Roaring 20s, set to drop in early 2025, Elena Erin is sharing “what are you doing here?”, a captivating and reflective piano ballad that explores the difficult beliefs of unworthiness and being an outsider, questioning the people who remain by her side.
ARTIST QUOTE
“‘what are you doing here?’ reflects on my childhood and how it has shaped the person I am today. It explores how my early desire to escape or seek new experiences laid the foundation for where I am now. The song delves into the lasting impact of those experiences, touching on themes like questioning why certain people remain in my life when I’m so used to people leaving, and grappling with deeper self-reflection about why I am the way I am” ~Elena Erin
