We had the pleasure of interviewing Elyse Jewel over Zoom video.
Elyse Jewel is breaking the 4th wall when it comes to mental health. As a lifelong performer and a notably kind, playful personality she is out to change the world of Pop stardom by promoting healthy mental practices and leading authentic conversations through her songs. Jewel, who leads the maturing generation of Swifties, takes heart when writing about young love, heartbreak, and dusting oneself off. \u201cMy songwriting process feels like a therapy session a lot of times,\u201d she says of sharing authentic storytelling. "I want my music to resonate with people and for those who hear it to think, \u2018Hey that\u2019s how I feel\u2019 or 'I\u2019ve been in that situation.\u2019\u201d
Elyse Jewel isn\u2019t all bubblegum, though. Her new tracks are packed with clever quips and gritty guitar licks as if to follow a warm hug with a jolting push to the ground. In her pre-EP single, \u201cTBH IDK\u201d, Jewel sings about her love interest being sweet one minute and sour the next leaving her with nothing but a song to sing to which she claps back, \u201cI can\u2019t be your therapist\u201d. Despite her lyrical jabs Jewel\u2019s social media is glittered with encouraging notes to followers and \u201cHow are you?\u201d captions. The threads of comments are full of heartfelt responses to anyone sharing a struggle or a triumph.
Dear Diary, a 6-song visual album, is the artist\u2019s debut showcase of her ability to craft, and execute, a complete vision. Accompanied by a visual component with each song, the nearly 18-year-old faces heavy emotions head-on, taking listeners through the familiar process of feeling butterflies for someone new, to discovering they aren\u2019t who they projected themselves to be, and coming to terms with what we tend to allow people to get away with for the sake of companionship and cute social media pics. Though this project is new, in every release since her debut single, \u201cThinking About You\u201d in 2019, Elyse sheds light on the feelings we\u2019ve all encountered with the goal of helping people to feel less alone. \u201cIt\u2019s important that I create a safe space with every listener.\u201d
