Elena Ramona – Foreverlution
Elena Ramona - Foreverlution
Release Date: Out Now
I’m always interested in how
people end up in one place when they’ve come from somewhere else so the odyssey
of Elena Ramona from the Greek island of Skiathos to the Surrey town of
Guildford, home of my grandparents, has me intrigued. Ramona’s new EP starts
with ‘My World’ and it has the sprinkled magic of sunlight on an evening Mediterranean
shoreline but the edge of British alt-pop that makes this pop and zing with optimism
and a sense of new adventures to come. ‘Electric Love’ is up next and has a summer-funk vibe to it
which makes you want to put the top down and drive over to Pharrell’s house for
a pool party.
The mid-point of this EP is
marked by title track ‘Foreverlution’ which has a slick R’n’B vibe, EDM beats
and shows of Ramona’s darker side but a sleek tune that means business. On ‘Indestructible
Me’, the shuddering melody and beat combo grabs the attention while Ramona does
her best Jessie J meets Seaker impression bringing the style and sass together
smoothly. Finally, ‘The Neon Lights’ moves towards the pop ballad territory and
has a quiet steeliness to it which, mixed with the sparse piano and guitar lines,
makes this a moody wonder. Elena Ramona is a sophisticated and stylish artist
with more than one string to her bow so I, for one, am glad she made the
voyage.
