Last year saw Elohim drop her astonishing ‘Power of Panic’ album which earned critical spotlights in Rolling Stone, Billboard, and The New York Times while also captivating her fans with the journey she created through the album. After already receiving an incredible reception to ‘Power of Panic’, she has now expanded upon this powerhouse of an album by releasing the ‘Deluxe Edition’ featuring 4 new tracks.
The first new element is an interlude in ‘Scratch My Brain’ which is a short, simple, and yet satisfying soundscape which continues the steady calming in energy from ‘The Call.’ This leads into an utterly beautiful cover of AWOLNATION’s defining anthem ‘Sail’ which offers a unique and personal take on a classic that further diversifies the sonic journey of ‘Power of Panic.’ These additions make for a well-integrated change in energy for the first half of the album and add more emotional depth through their style and lyrics.
Later in the album we meet ‘Patience’, an unsettling track intended to reflect anxiety’s relentless hold which is achieved expertly through the glitchy sounding vocals and sudden switches between different sounding synths. Having the verses being moments of calm in the song further elevate the impact of the chorus’ which is something Elohim does extremely well across the whole album. The final addition to ‘Power of Panic’ is ‘Little Help’ in collaboration with Yoshi Flower which brings back more of the high energy feel to link into the title track. It’s yet another display of Elohim’s ability to impressively spring from calm moments into more chaotic sections while making it feel perfectly natural.
The ‘Deluxe Edition’ adds even more diversity of sound to an album that already had a plethora of styles wonderfully brought together. These new additions have only deepened the journey that ‘Power of Panic’ takes you on and have continued to show just how talented Elohim is.
