Eljé is one of North London’s freshest talents, and developing a unique sound to boot. Her newest single ‘I Dunno‘ hears UK garage, jungle, drum ‘n’ bass, and R&B woven into one addictive hybrid banger.
This youngster with velvety vocals achieves her genre-bending feat with prolific producer Toddla T. With a discography including Aitch and Stormzy, this hit-making producer has co-signed this up-and-comer. Eljé glides on his trademark bounce on this hip track. Here, she basks in all his self-acclaimed ‘steazy’ style we’ve grown accustomed to.
This singer-songwriter will speak to fans of Jorja Smith. Their tones are very similar, and like Smith, Eljé is practically ‘singing-rapping’. Her thought-provoking lyrics kept me enraptured throughout the track. ‘It’s a game you played so well / Love turned to illusions a story you’d tell‘.
Despite being so early in her career, Eljé was spotlighted by BBC Music Introducing last year, and co-signed by Rebecca Judd on Apple Music as an ascending artist. I attribute this rise to her fearless fusion of sounds that showcase her versatility. It’s evident that this artist draws inspiration from every corner of music, making her an appealing up-and-comer to keep on your radar.
‘I Dunno‘ is an energetic tune that has that throwback appeal so inherent in UKG. If you’re looking for a vibey, dance tune to add to your house party playlist – this duo has you covered.
