Elena Jolie’s new single, “Withdrawal Symptoms” is a beautifully haunting song that takes listeners through the emotional stages of grief after heartbreak. Her voice is pure, gentle and powerful, making every lyric feel deeply personal and raw. The song’s acoustic instrumentation is simple and allows her vocals to shine while enhancing the emotional weight of the lyrics.
Inspired by a 19th-century Dutch poem, the lyrics explore the pain of an abusive relationship and the struggle to move on. Lines like “I am a god in the deepest trenches of my thoughts” and “The symptoms left of the last kiss we had” reflect the intense emotions of longing and self-discovery. The melody is captivating and the overall sound has an ethereal quality that stays with you long after the song ends.
The production is polished yet intimate, creating a deeply immersive experience. Elena Jolie’s ability to blend storytelling with emotion makes this song stand out. We really love how honest and vulnerable this song feels. It’s not just a song, it’s an experience. If you’ve ever been through heartbreak, “Withdrawal Symptoms” will resonate with you in the best way possible.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
An evocative storyteller and a sonic architect, Elena Jolie weaves cinematic melodies with hauntingly poetic lyrics into baroque pop. Her music transcends eras, combining ethereal vocals with lush soundscapes to create a timeless yet contemporary resonance. Elena Jolie is quintessentially paradoxical: bright colored clothes but dark lyrics, combining psychological and spiritual themes in her lyrics with timeless melodies. Hints of classical influences while wearing vibrant, feminine dresses, glittery make-up and pearl jewellery, in other words: ”melancholily fashionable” is what the world of Elena Jolie is all about.
