Her life has been a whirlwind of reinvention, first shooting up the ranks as a tennis prodigy who played at Wimbledon and the US Open by the age of 10, only to end up with the kind of injury that demands a second life. Eventually, she became a Senior V.P. in the record industry and later ran upscale product companies, eventually buying Nicolas of Palm Beach Luxury. The fact that she has grown, as a woman who has grappled with pressure, image, success, and reinvention, affords rich depth to the themes present in this song. Elysia draws you into a place of fragility and self-honesty. The instrumentation is elegant and emotive, with expansive strums that feel introspective yet never relent from a sense of power. Her vocals are clear and purposeful, nestled into a supple bedding of instruments that gives ample room for her message to make its way through, new and beautiful and sharp.
"I'm not Lying Anymore" is an anthem of personal honesty and also a critique of the pressure to perform in society. Eylsia sings for the people who are sick of pretending, for the go-getters and dream-chasers who've felt the pressure to wear a mask to be embraced. Her message is that letting go of the act is a sign of freedom. The track serves as a prompt to look inside, to ask hard questions, and even consider redefining what it means to show up authentically in our own lives. Just for listeners who are already fans of empowering storytelling wrapped in lush, emotionally intelligent soundscapes, "I'm not Lying Anymore" is a must-listen. It's a triumphant burst of truth from an artist who's lived many, many lives and is finally, truly, living his best one.
