The stripped-down production allows his words and emotions to take center stage, making 'Mama' a moving and sincere tribute.
Speaking on his new body of work, Elmiene says, "The general theme of this project is trying to mark my time not in terms of history but just for me personally, so I don't get lost. Almost making a checkpoint to anchor myself. Even sonically it's like I'm marking my stamp that I put on things. Because I'm so deep in looking back behind me, I always found myself stumbling over what's gonna happen next. So when my life started speeding up massively, I had to learn how to keep an eye on both sides - appreciating the past in order to do the future the right way and do it justice."
'Marking My Time' is a testament to Elmiene's growth as an artist and his ability to translate personal experiences into music that resonates with a wider audience. It's an EP that encourages reflection and introspection while offering a glimpse into the artist's journey of self-discovery. With its evocative soundscapes and poignant lyrics, 'Marking My Time' firmly establishes Elmiene as a promising artist to watch in the contemporary music scene. His willingness to explore the intersection of past and future, both musically and thematically, makes this EP a compelling and unforgettable musical journey.
