Canadian singer Elena has already seen success in the form of radio play for the first single she released this year. Now she’s hoping to repeat that again with her follow-up single ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ a free feeling pop song.
The song itself is upbeat electro-pop and tells a lovers story that follows in the footsteps of, yep you guessed it, Bonnie & Clyde. Although Elena lets slip that “Bonnie don’t have a man like mine,” as she sings in the vibrant chorus. A chorus that compares her relationship to theirs.
The song that was written during the first lockdown was not always meant to be taken quite so literally as perhaps it seems. This has been explained to us and we are told that “The song started as a metaphor for getting rid of old versions of ourselves, creating new identities, and finding partners who would support those changes and evolve with us.”
Elena herself has a great backstory growing up home-schooled on a cattle farm in Canada, attending Berklee College of Music, and hustling in New York City while writing her first EP, has ended with Elena settling in London.
It is maybe these experiences that make this pop artist such a great storyteller, you know you are in for a great story right from the beginning of the track. It opens with “if you bury the bodies, I’ll find a way out” and it’s pretty much onwards and upwards from there.
She has created the ultimate driving song jump in the car turn the volume up but try not to leave any dead bodies in your wake!
