Eylsia's most recent release, "I Walk Alone," doesn't sound like a comeback single, it sounds more like a statement of presence, carrying the weight of survival, conviction, and purpose. Still, it moves with the warmth and rhythm of an Afrobeat song meant to lift you rather than bring you down.
The song began as a profoundly spiritual thought rooted in faith and personal strength. But Eylsia doesn't just believe, she turns the track into an Afrobeat-driven piece, changing spirituality from something that happens to something people do, movement, responsibility, and solidarity. That change is similar to her decision to donate the song's royalties to help African communities in need, while most of the world looks the other way. Eylsia's release is about being with other people, not being alone.
Knowing how hard it was to get to this point makes it even more critical. After years of not singing and damage to her lungs and vocal cords from COVID, she wasn't sure if she wanted to sing again. Her voice came back thanks to faith, science, and new sound-restoration and AI technologies. With it came a new sense of purpose. Even without quoting a single lyric, you can feel the gratitude in the spirit of the track.
"I Walk Alone" is also part of a life story about reinvention. She was a tennis prodigy whose career ended in injury, a Hollywood professional, a survivor of personal collapse and recovery, a college president, a fashion innovator, and now an artist who is once again finding her voice. The song doesn't dwell on the past, it moves forward with purpose. Eylsia is looking ahead to a new book, global tours, a growing audience, and early talks about a feature film. This release is a reminder that walking alone doesn't mean walking without purpose.
