Christmas Day (feat. Maria Lynn)

Ride (feat. Mickey Shiloh & JxHines)[Remix]

Lyrics:
"It was one of those evenings,
When the seasons brought us greetings,
And we got caught in the open,
The room as I stare, 
Challenged by the glare,
Of wanting you, yea

We threw our worries out the window,
No hesitations in the view line,
I didn't care about your pastime,
I just wanted all of you,
We ran away to seek shelter,
Left alone two torn souls,
It was us against the pressure,
No more time to reload,

Maybe I'm jaded,
It's not for love,
The hills have eyes,
And it's not for none,
So save it, oh save it,
It's over done,
The real don't die,
You and I, you and I,

'Cause you're careless with my heart,
And you're careless with my soul,
And you're careless with my heart,
And you're careless with my soul,
And you're careless with my heart,
And you're careless with my soul,
And you're careless with my heart,

And now you say you wanted out,
I knew that from the folded bed sheet,
Your pain was my enemy,
Still I tossed and turned all night,
Weeping for your touch,
But I knew we were slipping away, still,

We threw our worries out the window,
No hesitations in the view line,
I didn't care about your pastime,
I just wanted all of you,
We ran away to seek shelter,
Left alone two turned souls,
It was us against the pressure,
No more time to reload,

Yeah, I apologize for trying to fly with broken wings,
Was a product of loose ends trying to sew the seams,
Making the best of a bad call,
Reversing the plays, but now I wish I could fast forward,
The days are dragging into a dark abyss,
I feel the softest kiss turned into a hardened fist,
I never said it'd be easy, but it’d be best to believe me, 
Instead of wasting breath,
And now it seems I'm being pushed away from taking steps,
I gave my time to provide, swallowed my pride,
Through it all of it, gave a part of me that's hard to describe,
But hold up,
Why we acting like your role is sacred?
Overstated idioms that got me lacking motivation,
Coordinated greatly,
Even if you hate me,
You could never say I never fought to keep your safety,
It's impossible to rate me to the lows,
Say I'm careless with your soul,
Walking 10 blocks with a thorned rose ,
In my palm while the blood flows,
No!
Hard to reciprocate love when it's never shown though.

Maybe I'm jaded,
It's not for love,
But hills have eyes,
And it's not for none,
So save it, oh save it,
It's over done,
The real don't die,
You and I, you and I,

'Cause you're careless with my heart,
And you're careless with my soul,
And you're careless with my heart,
And you're careless with my soul,
And you're careless with my heart,
And you're careless with my soul,
And you're careless with my heart..."

Careless (feat. J Nolan)

Lyrics:

Excuse me
I like you
I wish I could get to know you better
Call me later
Come over
Let’s hang out
We’ll find something to talk about
Other than the weather
But would you rather
Cause summer winds are better in the spring time
And my mind’s like the ocean with the pool tide
I thought it would be nice of me to let you know 
Ahead of time
I’m Eli
Nice to meet you where you from?
Yea
Yea, Addor where they raised me up
Conversation with you, yea that’s nightly
Likely
I’m on a vibe with you
No makeup
And no shoes
I like to kick it by the coastline
With that sweet pine
And I got some baggage
I need to unpack it in due time
I hope you don’t mind
Cause summer winds are better in the spring time
My mind is like the ocean in the pool tide 
I thought it would be nice of me to let you know 
Ahead of time
I’m Eli
Nice to meet you where you from?
Yea 
Yea, Addor where they raised me up
Conversation with you, yea that’s nightly
Likely
I’m on a vibe with you
I’m Eli
Nice to meet you where you from?
Yea 
Yea, Addor where they raised me up
Conversation with you, yea that’s nightly
Likely
I’m on a vibe with you
I feel right when I’m with you 
Right when I’m with you
I feel high when I'm with you, yea
I wanna vibe when I’m with you
Vibe when I’m with you
Baby
Tell me what you wanna do
I’m Eli
Nice to meet you where you from?
Yea 
Yea, Addor where they raised me up
Conversation with you, yea that’s nightly
Likely
I’m on a vibe with you
I’m Eli
Nice to meet you where you from?
Yea 
Yea, Addor where they raised me up
Conversation with you, yea that’s nightly
Likely
I’m on a vibe with you

Message from Eli:

Q: What is "I Am Eli" about?
A:  “I Am Eli” is my way of re-introducing myself to the world. I’ve put out other songs but this one is more personal because I’m speaking directly on the things I like and how I enjoy the simple things along with my love of getting to know people. One of the lines in the hook is “Nice to meet you, Where you from?” That alone encapsulates the vibe of the song. Down to earth and creating a vibe from one person to another.

I Am Eli

I Am Eli is my re-introduction to my fans. This song takes the light off of me as an artist and shines it more on me as an individual. The fact that I don’t care to wear shoes or makeup and how I like to be by the ocean and just be on some chill vibes 24-7.

I AM ELI

Stay for the night 
I would like
To tell you more about 
All the things that I like
It’s alright if you’d rather see stars in the sky
No I wouldn’t get offended no

Cause I think that he might do
Yea I think he’d like to
Do sumn’ I’m prolly gonna like
Uh Huh because I feel it
Inside his vibe to
Yea I think I might do
Sumn’ that he prolly gonna like

So when we fall down to earth
Then lets ride 
To the coast

Flower me
And shower me
A midsummers dream
Patiently waiting to pass thru his steam yea
I’m feineng 
I fight it
You captivate me
Don’t care to go nowhere no 

Cause I think that he might do
Yea I think he’d like to
Do sumn’ I’m prolly gonna like
Uh Huh because I feel it
Inside his vibe to
Yea I think I might do
Sumn’ that he prolly gonna like

So when we fall down to earth
Then lets ride 
To the coast

So when we fall down to earth
Then lets ride 
To the coast

Flower me
And shower me
Down to earth
Patiently waiting

So when we fall down to earth
Then lets ride 
To the coast

So when we fall down to earth 
Then lets ride 
To the coast

Fall 
Down
Earth
Then
Ride
To 
Coast

Voyage is about the trip that your mind and energy goes thru when you’re getting to know someone and just starting to learn each other. All those late nights full of deep convos, starring at the stars and talking about non-sense. All the while, waiting for the kiss and then some.

Mystiks with a K! This track is a love letter to that special someone.. telling them why you feel the way you do and the things you’d do for love. Self expression can be scary, especially when it’s for someone you care deeply for. That’s the mystery of it all. The mystery of love and companionship.

We all know what happens or can happen around 2am when you happen to be with a lover.. Things tend to get a little hot and heavy. What can I say? Just another expression of love.

These beats 
They won’t slow down
Oh yea the sounds
They drown me out
And so I breath
In and out
Yet still I
I can’t calm down

Man all I need is a break
Take my time in Californ I A
Might even cruise up to the bay
Or just chill with my brothers in LA

Now picture that
With the seat rolled back
Mm sipping on that yak
Now hear me out
Gotta take my time
Cause I feel the pressure coming back 
Now give me that
Yea a backwood stacked like I don’t know how to act
Now imagine that
Pressure falling back

Mm I get a hold of it
I take control of it 
My lungs is blowing it
Oo yea Oo yea
I’m looking out the window
I see my visions clear up
I’m gone and I don’t give a fuck

All I need is a break
Take my time in Californ I A
Might even cruise up to the bay
Or just chill with my brothers in LA

We got that sunroof open
Parking lot we smoking Jane
Got my mood up
Tripping with my niggas 
East LA
Yea I’m cool now
Why?
Cause we got the herb

Hotbox but I feel a drift
Lowkey don’t wanna deal
I’m a flower I’m a daffodil 
Oo on a lotus trynna catch a feel
Free fall on a cloud
Had to calm down
Peace calls on the loud 
Put the sounds out
Up at night
Up at night

Hand me that need to be more high
Wanna feel more fly
Back roads to the golden skies
Took space in the field up high
My mind is drifting and I’m
I’m lost inside 
And I’m feeling fine

Man all I need is a break
Take my time in Californ I A
Might even cruise up to the bay
Or just chill with my brothers in LA

We got that sunroof open
Parking lot we smoking Jane
Got my mood up
Tripping with my niggas 
East LA
Yea I’m cool now
Why?
Cause we got the herb

Say who got it?
Say we got it
We got the herb

Now who want it?
And who got it?
We got the herb

We got that sunroof open
Parking lot we smoking Jane
Got my mood up
Tripping with my niggas 
East LA
Yea I’m cool now
Why?
Cause we got the herb

Sunroof
Open
Mmmm

Inspiration for Ride?

I sometimes deal with anxiety and I most definitely deal with stress. When I was writing Ride, I was just coming out of an anxiety driven slump and a couple things that help me to get out of that place is to just chill with some good green and to be with my family and my friends. We all need to ride out from time to time.

RIDE

Ride (Explicit)

Ride (Clean)

Rhythm and blues artist Elieyeam is a quiet storm of cool. While she is a self-taught guitarist, her voice is an instrument within itself. It is calm yet commanding; delicate yet dense; and cultivated yet raw. 

Her heritage is unique; music is in her DNA. Her mom is a singer and her dad is a musician and producer, as are her siblings. Hailing from a small town in North Carolina, she grew up accompanying her parents to studio sessions, as well as listening to them record in their home studio. Becoming an artist fulfilled a family legacy. 

A quiet and shy kid, Elieyeam channeled her thoughts through writing poetry, which eventually developed into lyrics. At 15, she became a reference vocalist alongside her brothers and four years later made her debut as a Jazz performer. Those combined experiences taught Elieyeam that some creative ideas can’t be fully executed without living life. In order to grow as an artist, she needed to grow as a person. The young talent took a hiatus from the spotlight to explore other opportunities, some of which ranged from yoga instructor to painter, but they all fostered her passion for the arts. 

In 2016, Elieyeam found her niche. Her multifaceted skills attracted the attention of a manager who secured her acting projects while she worked on music and in 2019, she made her triumphant return as a songstress. That same year, Elieyeam was nominated and won a Carolina Music Award in the Jazz category. At the top of the year for 2020, she performed at the first annual World Day of African and Afro-descendant Culture festival in Costa Rica at the request of Sophia Morris, daughter of Stevie Wonder. As the year progressed, Elieyeam was nominated and won for best R&B Singer of the Da Stage Radio awards, which recognizes the best independent R&B and Hip-Hop talent worldwide. 

Before needle meets groove on any of Elieyeam’s recordings, you can expect truth. You can expect words that have a holistic effect creating a space where love and vulnerability co-exist and flourish. Recognizing that storytelling connects her inner vision with the outside world, she pens her lyrics carefully. And as a result, her material is empowering. She communicates her messages the same way she talks because authenticity is important to her. Inspired by the genius of Amy Winehouse, Sade, Natalie Cole and Jamie Cullum, the intense emotions and psychological depths of these artists resonate throughout her music.

Another essential part of Elieyeam’s magic is her ability to mesh diverse genres like hip-hop, rock, heavy metal and country into a cohesive sound that establishes her own identity. While she experiments, she never moves too far away from the sources of her inspiration. This philosophy is expressed on her single “I Am Eli,” where she strips herself of anything that is in conflict with the essence of who she is. The sparse, mellow instrumentation is dramatically arranged, serving as the perfect backdrop to Elieyeam’s poetically beautiful messaging. 

Upon relocating to Atlanta in 2016 to further pursue her acting career, an entrepreneurial-minded Elieyeam began exploring new territory and building with local artists and tastemakers. One of her collaborative partners was Rahzel Brown, Jr., whose father is one of the original members of the hiphop collective The Roots. She also began performing on festival stages like A3C and Music Business Empowerment Conference, as well as virtual showcases in New York, Los Angeles and London which took place in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Effortlessly sophisticated, Elieyam is an anomaly possessing the kind of staying power few contemporary artists have demonstrated in the new millennium. She’s an artist of the people, by the people and for the people.
