Driven by Elijah’s hauntingly powerful vocals, “What It Means” will immerse listeners in a deeply emotional journey. “What It Means” was a reflection on the emotions I grappled with over the past year,” shared the singer-songwriter, who had gained a loyal following resonating deeply with fans across Southeast Asia.
“The brutally honest lyrics explore the struggle of understanding what it means to be human and my ongoing quest for maturity,” he explained.
The 6-track EP, Elijah Would!, explores tender themes centered around love, highlighting a softer, more intimate side of Elijah’s artistry. The project offers a reflective, heartfelt counterpart to the vibrant indie-rock energy of his prior release, Hey There Elijah.
Together, these two EPs form a captivating story of emotional evolution, embracing the complexities of life, love, and growth.
No stranger to the spotlight in Asia, Elijah’s rising prominence in the region culminated in a sold-out Asia tour in May 2024, where he headlined shows in major markets like Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore. While in Asia, he also opened for Niall Horan in Jakarta and took the stage at the Seoul Jazz Festival alongside artists like Lauv, Jeremy Zucker, and JP Saxe. Reflecting his surging popularity in Asia, Elijah Woods’ top global streaming countries included #1 The Philippines, #4 Indonesia, #5 Malaysia, #7 Taiwan, #8 Thailand, and #10 Singapore.
