“Brainwaves” is a collection of personal experiences as well as observances of friend’s relationships. The album covers multiple song styles, from indie-pop singer-songwriter to dance funk to country, showing Elle’s versatility as a songwriter and artist. Elle provides all vocals, and plays guitar and keyboard, but also employed the help of talented musicians from Rutgers Mason Gross. “Brainwaves” is a 100% NJ project, recorded at Jankland Studios in Wall, NJ. It was engineered, mixed, and mastered by owner Steve Jankowski, a classically trained trumpeter currently touring with Hall of Fame Songwriter Nile Rogers, & CHIC band, formerly with Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears and more. Kathleen is honored that Jankowski also plays horns on the album.

I Always Knew

"Nervous" portrays the emotions felt when you're attracted to someone, but fearful to put yourself out there without knowing whether they are genuine and worth it. It opens with wistful musings of the difficulty of letting new love in. Then, the dance beat drops as the physical struggle between listening to those fears or giving into attraction ensues. "Nervous" is what everyone goes through when deciding whether to dive into a new relationship, especially those who have been burned in the past.
