When Eylsia teases something new, it’s never just another single, it’s an audacious entry into an audio world as vivid as it is unlikely. Her new song, “Electric City,” which debuts today as a genre-defying next step in the "Queen of the Game 2 album, is just what you want to hear, a room-temperature-smashing of experimental R&B that fills the room with intrigue, openness, and undeniable charge.
“Electric City” hums with that urban electricity right from its first note, not the cliche kind, but the kind made up of slivered synth lines, textured beats, and Eylsia’s voice, which glides, dips, and even crackles a bit, fizz-like, against the night sky. It’s a terrain where groove and avant-garde intersect, and R&B’s soulful heart discovers a new and futuristic playground.
“Electric City” not only pays homage to its namesake, but it also becomes its demographic. Eylsia is not just singing about a city of power, she is that city. You hear the hum of overhead wires, the distant siren, the throbbing heartbeat of streetlights spilling long shadows, all wrapped in a palette that’s adventurous and embedded in rhythm and mood.
It’s the confidence of this track’s restraint that really sets it apart. Eylsia doesn’t pile on complexity for pageantry, she layers it purposefully. Each echo, each surprising pause, each subtle beat, everything feels curated, as if the track itself knows exactly when to fire up and when to slow down. Devotees of classic R&B may feel comforted and disturbed in equal measure, as chances are they’ve landed somewhere that feels like home and like outer space.
