Elodie Gervaise, a French-Australian artist blending Alternative R&B with Electro and Alt Pop, unveils her latest release: the double single “Swallow Me Whole” and “I See You, I Understand,” the first taste of her upcoming album, Exosoul [from Anaïnja]. Released through B3SCI Records, this double A-side single showcases Elodie’s innovative, genre-bending approach, capturing intense emotions and the vulnerability of love, lust, and self-discovery.
“Swallow Me Whole”: A Deep Dive into Passion and Liberation
With “Swallow Me Whole,” Elodie delves into themes of sexual liberation and desire, weaving sultry lyrics with atmospheric production. The track was born out of a moment of emotional and sensual awakening, and its lush, hypnotic soundscapes echo this intensity. Directed by Adam Munnings, the accompanying music video is a visual feast that pairs perfectly with the song's moody allure, presenting Elodie’s “divine warrior” persona, Anaïnja. This powerful figure channels connection and desire, reinforcing the artist’s mission to explore deep human connections in raw, unapologetic ways.
“I See You, I Understand”: A Meditation on Trust and Independence
In “I See You, I Understand,” Elodie reflects on the importance of trust and independence within romantic relationships. With heartfelt lyrics and a more reflective tone, the song examines the often-overlooked dynamics of honesty, communication, and acceptance in love. These themes showcase Elodie’s songwriting depth and her ability to translate complex emotions into resonant music.
The Journey of Exosoul [from Anaïnja]
Elodie’s path to this release is as layered as her music. Originally an architect, she transitioned to music and studied at ATLA College of Music in Paris before making Berlin her creative home. Her upcoming album, Exosoul [from Anaïnja], is a culmination of these experiences, exploring her personal and artistic growth. Inspired by her alter-ego, Anaïnja, Elodie examines universal human experiences through a lens of feminine power and connection. The album’s sonic landscape is enriched by contributions from producers Noah Becker, Alexander Alien, and Yannick Ernst, with final touches by Mucky Beats, bringing a textured, emotionally charged sound to her songs.
