Elizma, a rising star with a voice that echoes the greats, has released a powerful new single ‘Secrets’. This emotionally charged track delves into the depths of addiction and the devastating consequences of hiding pain. Inspired by her own personal journey through recovery, Elizma’s lyrics are raw, honest, and unflinching. She lays bare the struggles of substance abuse, the shame, and the isolation that often accompany it. The song serves as a stark warning about the dangers of normalization and the importance of seeking help.

With this single, Elizma challenges the music industry to reconsider its portrayal of drug use and the potential harm it can cause. She urges artists to use their platform to promote positive messages and to be mindful of the impact their lyrics can have on young listeners. Between the intricate arrangement and those powerful vocals, ‘Secrets’ is a captivating and thought-provoking track.

“I was in rehab when I first heard the beat. It was on a CD someone burned for me, but I couldn’t come up with any lyrics while I was there. It wasn’t until my first day out that the words finally came to me. I knew I needed to keep my mind occupied, so I played the track on repeat until something clicked.” 

“This song is a protest against the normalization of excessive drug use in pop culture. Kids are hearing about these substances in songs and losing their lives because of it. I believe we artists need to recognize our responsibility—words can have devastating consequences!”
