Elina Releases New Song “Free”
Swedish singer-songwriter Elina Stridh, aka Elina has released a new song “Free”.
The song is a folk-inspired ballad from her upcoming sophomore EP.
Elina Stridh explained about the song, “I had a bittersweet feeling writing “Free.” We tend to live our lives in all places but the present, chasing after everything we don’t have and forgetting what’s right in front of our eyes. The story of the song is about losing yourself in the memories of a love that has ended, wishing you’d seen the beauty of it while it was still yours. Love is never easy or flawless, but you had a true version of it. In the rearview mirror, you’re looking back at it with different eyes knowing that being with this person was the greatest freedom of all.”- Elina Stridh is known as a songwriter for NEIKED, Zara Larsson, Astrid S and Maroon 5. Especially better known, she co-wrote "What Lovers Do" featuring SZA on Maroon 5's sixth studio album “Red Pill Blues”.
In 2018, she debuted with “Wild Enough”, which is certified gold in her native Sweden. Her debut EP “In Hindsight” was released back in May.
Her sophomore EP is expected to be released in later this year. “It’s important for me to try and shine more of a light on the value of self-esteem, especially with the pressures we all face in today’s society. I want to continue exploring that down the road with my next EP and hopefully reach a point where I can make a real difference using the platform I’m lucky to have.” - source : 1883magazine
