Smithers, BC – March 4 2025 - Canadian Alternative-Pop artist, Elena Erin, has announced the release of her second studio album, “Roaring 20s”, set for release on Friday, March 21 2025.
A visionary force in modern music, Canadian Alternative-Pop sensation Elena Erin delivers a captivating and avant-garde musical journey on her sophomore album, “Roaring 20s”. Connecting the glamour of the 1920s with the glittering social scene of today, the concept album explores the elusive nature of fulfillment through a dynamic narrative of ambition, disillusionment, and personal reckoning. Rooted in Elena Erin’s own experiences, the album unravels the notion of “having it all” by navigating fame, self-identity, and the weight of past experiences. Sonically, “Roaring 20s” mirrors this emotional arc, weaving cinematic soundscapes with a bold fusion of Dance, Electronic, Alternative, Pop, and Hip-Hop influences. Across thirteen intricately crafted tracks, Elena Erin presents a dazzlingly creative album that resonates with authenticity, emotional depth, and thought-provoking storytelling.
With over 4,000,000 streams across platforms, Elena Erin’s music has received highly coveted global attention. Her breakout single, "Build A Ship," from her debut album “Holy Tender Artist” soared to #2 on the CBC Top 20, while her recent releases have been featured in tastemaking publications and playlists including Exclaim!, Live in Limbo, and Jonnica’s Jams, with an exclusive single premiere in Spill Magazine. Featured on SiriusXM, Elena Erin’s music has received widespread Canadian recognition from nearly all provinces in the country, including airplay on CKUA’s “Discoveries” and CBC’s “Mornings”. Additionally, the artist was selected to be the New York City face of the city-wide “Gonna Need Milk” campaign in support of female athletes.
Rooted in Elena Erin’s personal journey, “Roaring 20s” explores the complexities of chasing societal ideals while confronting long-buried emotions. Following a young singer rising through New York City’s glittering social scene, the album reveals the disillusionment that success never guarantees happiness, prompting the character to question her desires. Drawing from Elena Erin’s experiences—from a secluded childhood in northern Canada to navigating fame, love, wealth, and cultural identity—the album examines the tension between achieving success and questioning the systems that define it. Blending high-energy dance tracks with tender ballads, Elena Erin skillfully marries genres, textures, and environmental soundscapes to create a unique sonic journey. At its core, “Roaring 20s” reflects the vulnerability and struggles she faced as a child. Elena Erin shares, “I dove deeper into my emotions on this album than ever before. I chose to be as open and vulnerable as the thoughts that were coming to me.”
On cinematic focus track “Gatsby”, a group of partygoers contemplate their acceptance into high society - navigating the cost and status of fame while questioning the values of the world they find themselves in. The enveloping soundscape of “Gatsby” features an alluring mix of musical textures, from delicate electronic elements to claps, and layered vocals that offer a haunting call and response to the thoughts of someone wrapped up in a superficial system they realize would never support them. Inspired by the classic novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the song unravels the allusion of fitting in and the perception of what it means to be a part of the glamorous high society.
Three previously released singles demonstrate Elena Erin’s expansive creativity and skillful lyricism. On the first single from the album, “Sick Rich Girl” the artist presents a moody-meets-chic Pop tune about the emptiness of the high society party scene via a The Gossip Girl-esque song which shares the message that all that glitters is not gold. Followed by “The Only Kink I Haven’t Tried” a song that contemplates love and intimacy on the premise of reimagining the modern dating narrative with a quiet vulnerability. “what are you doing here?” is a reflective piano ballad where Elena Erin connects childhood traumas to adult perspectives, exploring feelings of being an outsider and the struggle to hold onto good things. With poetic lyrics, delicate melodies, and powerful vocal delivery, the song invites listeners to confront the past to better understand the present.
Masterfully navigating the intricate realities of ambition, identity, and the search for meaning, Elena Erin’s “Roaring 20s” offers a bold and immersive musical experience. Through her honest exploration of fame, attention, and self-awareness, Elena Erin presents a conceptual narrative that echoes universally, confronting societal ideals while embracing her truth. More than just a collection of songs, “Roaring 20s” captures Elena Erin’s journey of growth and reflection, challenging convention and discovering her authentic self. With her second studio album, she continues to push musical boundaries and encourages listeners to question their own pursuits and perceptions, inviting them to reflect on their own dreams, desires, and the systems that shape them.
