Introducing 16-year-old singer-songwriter Elke Schon and her debut single 'Talk To Me'. Not to be underestimated due to her age, the Gold Coast based artist has been taking singing lessons since she was young and had music as a foundational part of her childhood. She explains, "singing has always been a gateway for me to express myself", and now she is taking the natural next step. Fulfilling her childhood dream to release her own music, this single marks the beginning of her journey as a professional musician.
Sourcing inspiration from key contemporary artists like Harry Styles, Billie Eilish and Lana Del Ray, Elke has created her own polished version of modern pop. 'Talk To Me' is a moody, cinematic piece of music, produced by Josh Beattie. It's a slow-burner, with piano-heavy instrumentation culminating in a soaring finish carried by her subtly raspy voice. There's a depth to her vocals that shows talent beyond her years- a genuine softness accompanied by undeniable strength that is incredibly endearing.
The track is an intimate expression of unconfined emotion, outlining the inimitable experience of first love and Elke's struggle grappling with this. Whether this feeling is long in the past or something yet to be felt, this song is guaranteed to tug on listeners heartstrings.
With this single showcasing her clear potential and a promise of more to come, it's no doubt that Elke Schon will soon be finding her way into national consciousness.
