“Bout To Lose It” is Eljé’s latest, and it’s a wonderful UKG/House laced single. The young artist has emerged as a crucial figurehead in the revival of electronic music in the UK and abroad, with well over 2 million views on TikTok and key pickup across GUESS’ recent activation.
“Bout To Lose It” uses the Dominican heritage artist’s neo-soul touches gleaming with melodic intimacy to embody the joyful resurrection of UK garage and house with sounds bathed in varied summer sensations. She makes peace with the complicated truths of mental health just as the ambient backdrop explodes into high-quality house textures, contrasting the polished production with the young artist’s wistful narrative. The Gloucester-based artist seems like a major prospect in the making, and she’s having a great time doing it. She’s a truly inspirational lightning rod distilling a new generation of UK sound system culture.
