ELATRASI Shares Powerful Debut Single ‘Heavy’

ELATRASI, the project of British-Moroccan self-taught pianist, singer and songwriter Lamyaa Hanchaoui, shares her incredibly powerful debut single Heavy, a cinematic pop song that aims to uplift those who may sometimes feel invisible. 

I am loving ELATRASI's rich vocals and how they are beautifully layered over an ambient orchestral instrumentation that enhances the emotion pouring from her passionate vocal delivery. Heavy shares a message that even though someone's life may seem great, it doesn't mean that there aren't any struggles beneath the surface. We always tend to show our better sides and we never know what others are going through. 

Navigating the world around her whilst living with a chronic illness, ELATRASI's emotive lyricism is rooted with a vulnerability that aims to transform her pain into power. Heavy is built upon honest, personal experiences and powerful, rousing melodies packed with emotive piano chords, cinematic soundscapes and Arabic-infused sounds that enhance the emotion of ELATRASI's honest storytelling. Quite a memorable listening experience and what an impressive debut for this amazing artist. Check it out below!!

 

 

Speaking about the song, ELATRASI said,

The track touches upon the concept that just because we seem to have it all together, it doesn't mean that we aren't struggling beneath the surface. Or that what we are carrying isn't debilitating or heavy. We are all going through invisible battles and, unless we mention it, no one would ever know.
