Elias (SWE)

Brave, honest and open, the second album from Elias, Holy, Endlessly Sad, Love, released on Haele Records and AntiFragile Music in October 2021, is to all intents and purposes a classic soul record. Holy, Endlessly Sad, Love also heralds a new approach, one in stark contrast to the trademark “big sound” of the Swedish singer’s career to date. The album’s first single, the gentle and reflective ‘My Kind of Fire’ suggests that Elias stepped back to take control of a creative situation that maybe threatened to get out of hand.
