Elena’s biography
Elena gives a gravel throated performance that drips with elegance. This is a rowdy, streamlined stadium filler, which twists and turns around a rumbling agile chorus. - RockCity
Undeniably original and positively bewitching with it. A big prospect whose talent has gone largely unnoticed by media and the music industry so far but surely not for much longer. - Record Of The Day
Compared to everyone from Marianne Faithful to Cerys from catatonia due to her rough croon. Both comparisions are apt as would the similarities to Coldplay due to her dark, melancholic tunes. Wherever you decide to put her she¹ll sit at the top of the pile due to her stunning vocals. An undiscovered gem that has the world at her feet - Planet Loud
Elena is that rarest of things in 21st century rock music, a genuine outsider. A rock outfit fronted by one of the most distinctive, charismatic and passionate rock-chick in the world today.Formed in late 2003, Elena signed with indie label Delicious Records in 2004 and started recording a debut album ³Glimpse², a collection of amazing stadium filler hit singles featuring a timeless fashionable retro guitar sounds.Aside from the sheer quality of the songwriting (sassy, melodic, sinuous and lyrically uncompromising as it is) the most attention-grabbing aspect of Elena¹s records, is undoubtedly the remarkable lead singer¹s voice; a mercurial creature that can soar like a songbird and then growl like a mountain lion in the merest heartbeat; memorably described in Logo magazine as ’falling somewhere between Alison Goldfrapp¹s lupine howl, Marianne Faithfull¹s dissolute croon and Chris Martin¹s faltering, edge of orgasm stammer.’As you can imagine rare talent plus great songs plus an original voice is a combination that¹s not gone unnoticed and Elena immediately attracted the kind of industry excitement that most bands can only dream a bout music industry bible ³Record Of The Day² recently honored both A & B sides of the single as such on consecutive days! - An almost unprecedented feat for any artist let alone for a comparatively new talent. NME, The Guardian, The Fly and more, soon followed with their reviews.
