You might not know her name, yet, but the music of Central Coast singer-songwriter Elaskia has been featured in major TV shows like “Dynasty,” “Marvel’s Runaways,” and “Home and Away.” With that kind of exposure, it’s only a matter of time before she gains mainstream awareness. I wonder whether her latest track, “Can’t Help Loving You,” might be the one that makes people sit up and take notice.
It’s certainly got my attention. Its vulnerable lyrics, which so eloquently explore the struggles of leaving a toxic relationship, are so relatable. I also love the way the simple production supports Elaskia’s rich voice, rather than overshadowing it.
If you love what you hear, catch Elaskia at Norah Head’s Lighthouse Festival on November 13.
