ELYSA – The Last to Know
ELYSA Returns with the Emotionally Charged “The Last to Know”
ELYSA fans, brace yourselves as the contemporary pop artist unveils her fourth entry in the Eesti Laul with the deeply personal track, “The Last to Know.” Known for her upbeat pop anthems, ELYSA strips back the layers in this heart-wrenching ballad that vividly explores themes of love and betrayal. Co-written with Scandinavian talents Simon Peyron, Angelino Markenhorn, and Julie “Kill J” Aagaard, the track emerges from the creative crucible of Malmö’s HYDRA STUDIOS.
As ELYSA‘s voice soars through the emotional lyrics, listeners are invited into the narrative of her own relationship misfortunes—a story that has already captivated Estonia. In a time when betrayal can dim the spotlight, ELYSA reminds us that success is ephemeral, a sentiment beautifully encapsulated in her lament, “Living in the spotlight doesn’t shield the heart from betrayal and loss.”
With her sights set on February 15’s televised Eesti Laul finals, ELYSA is set to enrapture not only her homeland but a global audience, solidifying her place as a powerhouse in contemporary pop music.
