Elizma ‘What’s In My Mind’: A Rising Star with Depth and Soulful Power

Published

on

From her first recording session to releasing her original work, Elizma’s career is quickly gaining momentum. Her distinct blend of powerful, expressive vocals, introspective lyrics, and a genre-blending sound have positioned her as one of the most promising talents on the current music scene. Though she is still early in her career, Elizma’s artistry suggests maturity beyond her years, combining youthful exuberance with a depth often reserved for seasoned performers. With each release, she carves out a unique niche in the industry, demonstrating a clear vision that separates her from other rising stars.

Elizma’s music taps into universal emotions and life experiences, making it resonate deeply with listeners. Her vocal delivery showcases a rare versatility, transitioning effortlessly between soaring belts and delicate whispers. Each note carries emotion, bringing her introspective lyrics to life in a way that makes listeners feel as though they are on the journey with her. Her songwriting dives into complex themes—love, loss, self-discovery—offering a maturity in both lyrical content and sound, speaking to the heart of anyone who has ever faced emotional turbulence.

Her latest single, “What’s In My Head,” explores the often-overwhelming pull of emotional attachment after leaving a toxic relationship. Elizma’s honesty and vulnerability in this song strike a powerful chord as she examines the lingering memories that can cloud judgment and fuel a longing to return. Reflecting on her own experiences, she reveals, “I left a relationship that was toxic, but I found it harder than I expected to shake the idea of going back to my ex.” Her ability to convey such personal and relatable emotions allows listeners to find pieces of themselves within her music, creating an intimate connection with her audience.

Elizma’s raw talent hasn’t gone unnoticed. Legendary rock producer Jeff Glixman, known for his work with Kansas, now manages her career, and he has high hopes for her future. Glixman sees an enduring quality in Elizma’s music, remarking, “Elizma is an artist whose music will withstand the test of time; a singer who compares favorably to the iconic voices of both yesterday and today.” His endorsement not only adds credibility to her work but also hints at the lasting impact she is poised to make in the industry. With Glixman’s guidance, Elizma is well-positioned to further hone her craft and expand her reach.

Stylistically, Elizma’s music carries a blend of influences that give her a timeless yet modern sound. Fans of Billie Eilish, Allie X, and Lana Del Rey will find familiar threads in her work, but Elizma’s voice remains undeniably her own. Her debut at the Beacon Theatre in Hopewell, VA, in June 2024, and her opening performance for rock legend Dave Mason in July 2024 have already cemented her as a powerful live performer, enhancing her reputation and increasing her following. Her unique musical style, combined with her emotionally resonant performances, promises a bright future.

Looking ahead, Elizma’s upcoming collaboration with Japanese artist IAGlowb, set for release in January 2025 under 1st Place Records, shows her ambition to reach an international audience. With her passionate fan base, guidance from an experienced mentor, and an impressive portfolio of work already behind her, Elizma seems destined for greatness. As she continues to develop her artistry, she is well on her way to becoming an influential voice for her generation and beyond.

Dios Negasi + Tone Fultz drop “What It Is” single ft. Skrillz Dior

Published

on

When the “Iron City” links up with Los Angeles no weak emcees are safe!  Dropping today is Iron Angeles, the eleven track LP that combines Reagan Era Records lynchpin Dios Negasi on rhymes with production from Pittsburgh’s Tone Fultz.  First single “What It Is” (also featuring a verse from Reagan Era’s Skrillz Dior) is hard-as-nails, head-nodding boom-bap greatness.  As the producer states “though the Steel City is a cloudy and dark place and Los Angeles is known for its sunny weather, the two have a long history of creating legendary music together including Mel-Man and Sam Sneed’s work with Dr. Dre and Bud’Da’s producing ‘Bow Down’ for Westside Connection.”  This extends to the album voice-over which makes the project feel like a long-lost blaxploitation action flick of the grimiest proportions.

While Dios Negasi is known for producing his own tracks (including the recent single “Domingre Gang” featuring Young Zee) and Tone Fultz also rocks the mic in his alter-ego Messiah Of Madness, both artists stick to one role here.  As Tone relates, “Dios and I have been like brothers over the past few years.  I come to Los Angeles regularly to dig records, and he mentioned he was slowing down on production to focus more on rhyming.  Meanwhile I was in a producer zone so I started cooking up beats specifically for this project.  I came to visit when a bunch of tracks and as we cooked up in the studio, members of Reagan Era came through and it was a totally organic process.”
