The envelope-pushing artist from Los Angeles makes her debut on the Lost In Dreams imprint with a deeply personal and unflinching direct electronic single that highlights her strength at shining a light on issues surrounding mental health.
Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, producer, and DJ Elohim makes her long-awaited debut on Lost In Dreams Records with “Half Alive,” a bass-driven single that channels raw vulnerability into the framework of trap and wave. Out September 12, the track amplifies Elohim’s reputation for crafting deeply personal narratives into forward-thinking electronic productions.
“Half Alive” unfolds with her signature vocal croons—fragile, aching, and unflinchingly direct, serving as an intimate portal into her ongoing struggle for stability. The refrain “I wanna be okay” emerges in jumbled, pitch-shifted murmurs that linger like intrusive thoughts, while soft drum shuffles and spectral harmonies provide a fragile rhythmic pulse. Melancholic synth lines spiral into distorted low-end growls, mirroring the emotional descent into turmoil before surging back with cathartic intensity. “Half Alive” oscillates between haunting fragility and bass-fueled release, striking at the core of the trap and wave spectrum.
Elohim has long stood at the intersection of electronic experimentation and pop-forward accessibility. Her collaborative catalog includes high-profile work alongside Skrillex, Marshmello, Louis The Child, and Big Freedia, with multiple Billboard-charting releases, such as her self-titled debut album, which reached No. 1 in Dance/Electronic Album Sales.
On stage, she has commanded festival audiences at Coachella, EDC Mexico, Bonnaroo, and Electric Forest, while her artistry has been spotlighted by Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Variety, Nylon, and more. Beyond music, her advocacy for mental health has become an integral part of her identity, shaping projects like her ‘Braindead’ EP, which directly supported initiatives for mental health awareness.
With “Half Alive,” Elohim pushes further into her uncompromising vision: exposing vulnerability through sound design as sharp as it is tender. As her debut with Lost In Dreams, the single situates her among a roster dedicated to boundary-pushing electronic music, while reaffirming her place as one of today’s most fearless and multifaceted voices.
Elohim got her start playing music at five years old, after her parents encouraged her to learn classical piano. But these days, the Los Angeles-based Jill of all trades crafts electronic pop songs that have gotten crowds at some of the world’s largest festivals shaking. Releasing her first single in 2015, she’s gone on to tour with high profile artists like Blackbear, The Glitch Mob, and collaborator Louis The Child. She’s performed at festivals as notable as Coachella and Electric Forest, in addition to appearing on tracks alongside the likes of Marshmello, Skrillex, and Hobo Johnson.
While Elohim is a gripping performer, her music often juxtaposes party-starting instrumentals with candid lyrics about her mental health struggles. The end result is as invigorating as it is vulnerable. Power Of Panic — Elohim’s upcoming album for Position Music — finds her soaring to new artistic heights. Locating strength in a period of flux, the emotional EDM record begs to shake the walls of the world’s biggest clubs. Across 11 tracks, wubby basses and halftime drum machine grooves lay the framework for stuttering synth leads. “It makes me feel empowered and dope and cool and badass,” she says, buzzing about how it turned out. From playing Chopin at recitals to deploying massive drops on the main stage, Elohim has firmly cemented her place as a pop star for the next generation.
Elohim’s new single “Half Alive” is available on all platforms via Lost In Dreams.
