what we have to say:

ELINA has always had a way of writing lyrics that feel like journal entries you weren’t supposed to read — painfully honest, beautifully phrased, quietly devastating. But “Cutting Ties” is a different kind of wound. It’s the sound of someone finally letting go, not out of anger, but out of necessity — and that kind of goodbye hits the deepest.

“Cutting Ties” opens with ELINA’s signature softness: warm acoustic textures, breathy vocals, and a stillness that feels almost sacred. Before the lyrics even hit, you know this is a song about something delicate breaking. When her voice arrives, it feels like she’s singing right next to you — close, gentle, a little worn down from holding everything in.

This is ELINA in her element: emotional minimalism that feels like a slow unraveling.

“Cutting Ties” is ELINA at her most vulnerable and wise. It’s the sound of acknowledging your worth, choosing peace over longing, and gathering the courage to walk away from something that no longer holds you with care.

It’s tender. It’s honest. It’s quietly transformative.

If you love artists like Daughter, Billie Marten, or Phoebe Bridgers — that blend of soft-spoken vocals, poetic writing, and emotional nuance — “Cutting Ties” is going to stay with you long after the last note fades.
