Review
Elley Duhé's 'PHOENIX' arrived in October 2023 with all the fire and passion you'd expect from its mythological namesake! This 15-track debut album absolutely swept me off my feet with its perfect blend of dance-pop bangers and deeper, soul-searching moments. Her voice is seriously something else - one minute she's whispering confessions that make you lean in close, and the next she's belting out these massive hooks that had me dancing around my living room like nobody's watching! Songs like 'REBORN' and 'TALK!' are total earworms with their electronic beats and catchy choruses.
What really makes 'PHOENIX' special is how it all ties together as this amazing story of picking yourself up after tough times. I love how Elley balances those high-energy dance moments with quieter, more reflective songs that let her storytelling shine through. The whole album feels like this emotional journey through renewal and self-discovery that totally resonated with me. While a few tracks have similar vibes, it doesn't take away from what she's accomplished here. Elley has totally found her voice as both a writer and performer, and I'm so excited to see where she flies next! - Kelli
