A precocious talent based out of Los Angeles, Singer-Songwriter Elena C. Lockleis’ music consistently proves to motivate their listeners’ souls with every playthrough. Striving to embody the human condition with every single, their lyrics consistently serve to highlight the supportive community we can all find in our own lives and help us feel better about our less than ideal days. In service of this lifelong mission, their newest single, I WIll Cheer With You, serves to manifest this belief in spades both in lyrical motivation and the encouraging nature of the musicality.
The piece begins with a light piano progression accompanied by an optimistic undertone of electric embellishment that establishes a meditative and cheerful mood. Lockleis immediately gets to the weight of the story as they quickly begin their vocals with the opening line, “We celebrate big things, they’re great, but what about the ones that don’t usually include a cake?” From the opening seconds, the intentions of the music are made abundantly clear, and we are thrown into the world of the music as it builds around us.
Through the music they produce, the artist undeniably establishes their persona as a person defined by their sentimental connection. Unafraid to reveal their intimate relationship with the anxieties of the world, they allow themselves and their listeners to be human in the context of their music and beyond. Lockleis’ ability to foster a strong connection with everyone their music touches drives their story and allows fans to feel a strong relationship with the artist and their music. Having established their unique sound and direction so early in their musical career, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming from their studio next.
