Swedish singer-songwriter ELINA once again captures the quiet beauty of human emotion with her latest single, "Cutting Ties". Known for her delicate yet deeply resonant indie pop sound, ELINA continues to master the art of transforming defenselessness into empowerment, and this new release is no exception. "Cutting Ties" is about finding who you are on the other side. It's a song that stays with you long after it concludes.
'Cutting Ties' is a confessional moment set to melodic dance lines, the kind of song whose sweet, light music sounds as it is, it's also profoundly life-changing. It's about reaching that hard yet ultimately liberating point where you're ready to walk away from whatever isn't in your highest good. Whether it's love, security, or the very change you are challenged with, a hundred miles out sings the voice we all hope to own up to when times get tough.
The song twinkles with her characteristic emotional heat, airy vocals, lush production, and a melody that sounds like a sunrise after a long night. And there's a lift to the chorus, a sense of release that ties back to the song's theme of renewal and self-liberation. Her storytelling is warm and lived-in, and makes me want to reflect on my own experience of setting myself free as I continue to reclaim peace. ELINA takes a universal pain point and transforms it into healing, reminding us that strength can be silent, but that the freedom that comes with one bold act of courage
