Elina Filice returns from a busy 2021 (a well-received sophomore EP and over a million total Spotify streams) with new single ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’. The song was written and recorded by Elina in her home studio and co-produced by Viscose. Elina Filice is gaining attention for songs that defy genre and interactive live performances. Her music is soulful and melodic while being influenced by blues and spoken word. Born to Canadian parents, Elina spent her formative years in Singapore before moving to Canada to attend University. She then relocated to Dublin where she worked extensively in the music industry and founded Red Vine Records. Elina is a strong advocate for queer rights and visibility, and regards music as a powerful tool for the queer community. 

‘Don’t Let Me Fall’ oozes dark undertones and asphyxiating electronic pulses as Filice showcases a mature and more sinister side to her songwriting. The song broods and simmers within mellow guitar lines and icy soundscapes for the verses ( creating a cold and isolating atmosphere ) while the intricate beats and funky guitar hooks in the chorus create a danceable and energetic listening experience. The track is a joy to listen to and is a fine display of Filice’s deft musical prowess and diverse sound. Filled with lush textures, pristine production and sharp lyrical content ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’ is an enticing and kinetic new single from this talented artist.

About the track, Elina says, “We’ve all been in the situation or know someone who’s been in a relationship or friendship where someone is relying on you for their stability. It’s incredibly scary being stuck in a dark tango with someone who you care for but are unable to help. What they threaten to do if you leave them leads to a toxic and painful cycle.”
