The sensational trap-soul songstress shot to fame with "You are the One" which brought the heat on Apple Music charts in 2019. The single went viral and saw a piano cover by soulful artist Loyiso Gijana. The evocative "You are the one" music video dropped in April of this year with crisp visuals celebrating Black girls and a twist on 90s' aesthetics. The highly-anticipated song carried visuals that captured the intimacy between Elaine and her lover.

"My EP, Elements, means so much to me," Elaine explains in an interview. She goes on to add that, "I gave it all my love and passion, and to receive it tenfold from those who love and appreciate me and my music, is the greatest gift I could ever ask for. I am grateful, humbled and excited for the future. Thank you to every shining star that has been streaming my project, and thank you Apple Music for your love and constant support!"

At the beginning of lockdown, Elaine shared her 'At Home With' playlist for fans to cope with the blues of being cooped up indoors. Her curation is filled with mood-shifting music that'll have you feeling that everything will work out just fine.
