R&B sensation Elmiene unveils his latest emotional offering with the poignant single “Crystal Tears,” produced by Grammy-winning maestro D’Mile.
In this soulful track, Elmiene navigates the complexities of love, pondering the possibility of reconciliation with a former flame. His velvety vocals convey a sense of longing as he sings, “I need to know / If you can feel / Could I ever be your special person / Show you I can give you love and devotion.” Later in the song, he reflects on past mistakes, expressing remorse with the lines, “I apologize for leaving, and I know that / If I curse my ways / Won’t mean you might stay.”
Reflecting on the collaboration, Elmiene shares, “‘Crystal Tears’ was a fun one because I was working with D’Mile for the first time. That man is today’s Teddy Riley, Darkchild and everything in between. Making R&B with him was effortless.”
“Crystal Tears” marks Elmiene’s return to the spotlight since the release of his EP Marking My Time last October, via Polydor Records/Def Jam. The EP showcased Elmiene’s versatility across six tracks, including standout cuts like “Marking My Time,” “Someday,” and “Mad At Fire.”
Closing out 2023 with a heartfelt rendition of Jeff Buckley’s classic “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over,” Elmiene continued to captivate audiences with his soul-stirring performances. In January, he treated fans to a live EP, Live at RAK Studios, featuring intimate renditions of fan favorites like “Mama,” “Mad At Fire,” “Someday,” and “Marking My Time.”
Recently, the rising star unveiled an unplugged version of “Someday,” showcasing his raw talent and acoustic prowess.
As anticipation builds for his upcoming tour, Elmiene prepares to embark on a sold-out journey across Europe and the U.S., kicking off on April 4. With his heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, Elmiene continues to solidify his status as one of R&B’s most promising talents.
