about
This single highlights ELAURA’s talent and versatility as an artist and is flawless in its execution. Effortlessly transitioning from the hypnotic, gentle tones of the chorus, to a surprise soft spoken verse, all while maintaining a clean grooving beat you’ll be reminded of music powerhouses BIIG PIIG, Kaytranada, and Kaiit.
Once you hit play, gentle chords, crickets and harmonics bring this sunrise-esque beginning to fruition, after which ELAURA comes in, fully consuming you in her rich luscious vocals, carried through with a perfectly complementary driving beat. The track was recorded at Producer Sunday’s (Josh Yardy) home studio in Melbourne.
Throughout the song, jazzy piano chords keep the momentum as musical flourishes make the track irresistible. Vocal samples are sporadically pitch shifted, firmly anchoring this song in the contemporary - making for a delicious and memorable listen.
“Shadow Talk is for anyone doubting their ability to step into their own power. Being the leader of your life means co-existing with your shadows & ego, and not letting that part of you run your life. It reflects my belief that people can change into better versions of themselves if we learn to stop repressing our fears & lean on our community."

LYRICS:
Shadow talkin, take the back seat stop flirting with my energy
I’m driving
Shadow talkin, take the back seat stop flirting with my energy
I’m driving (ha)
I see the beauty in the people
I see the eagle
Flyin over hills and watchin me go
I see the mirror in the people
I see my ego
Rollin out the carpet but it’s me the sequel
Through your eyes I'm falling
From the sky, I’ve fallen
When I rise, I’m falling
Close your eyes we’re falling
Shadow talkin, take the back seat stop flirting with my energy
I’m driving
Shadow talkin, take the back seat stop flirting with my energy
I’m driving (ha)
I’d put any money on your success, rest
Recover all you lost and leave the rest
Stress less ‘bout the doors unopened
Cause your eyes wide open unspoken success, yes
lean into all your fears unaddressed
It don’t matter when you shine through the mess
Let the bliss move through your chest
And lessen the space so blessed
As we fall in
It’s a mad world,
Being a woman in a man’s world
It’s a mad world,
Being a woman in a man’s world
It’s a mad world,
Being a woman in a man’s world
It’s a mad world,
Being a woman in a man’s world
Shadow talkin, take the back seat stop flirting with my energy
I’m driving
Shadow talkin, take the back seat stop flirting with my energy
I’m driving (ha)
God body, god energy
God body, god energy
God body, god energy
God body, god energy
