Elliphant comes back bolder, wilder, and embracing her unique randomness like never before with her newest album, “TROLL.”

Elliphant is a singer, songwriter, and rapper who has propelled to international stardom with her unique and extravagant style. After a quick look at her career, some milestones pop up like the success of her very first single, “Tekkno Scene,” which was part of the video game FIFA. She collaborated with artists such as Diplo, Doja Cat, Skrillex, and Major Lazer, as well as featuring on David Guetta, Tove Lo, and Zeds Dead’s records. Her energetic sound has also been part of the soundtrack of several movies, series, and commercials. 

Today, she is decided to impose her electric sound one more time on the music scene with her album “TROLL”. Confrontational, fearless, and defiant, the artist uses chaos to exhibit her capabilities and to shatter the boundaries of music. In this album, Elliphant mixes the familiar electronic punk with the force of hip-hop and rap. Through the eight-track album, the grungy and fast-paced rhythms feel like punches of energy that allow the instinctive reactions to take place, leaving you euphoric dancing to the industrial thrumming in the middle of a disco built in an abandoned factory. 

Elliphant’s album “TROLL” stands out from the rest due to its ability to showcase her personal growth and maturity as a mother. Her lyrics that abord subjects such as empowerment and self-discovery were written during the same time she was taking care of her daughter. In comparison to other albums, “TROLL” uniquely captures her journey as a mother, highlighting her experiences and newfound wisdom artfully. This sets it apart from any other work she has previously released, making it a standout piece among her discography. In this opportunity, her words feel more individualistic than in other opportunities where she speaks to a collective social context.

The reason for calling her album “TROLL” is to clean it from incorrect uses and honor the mythological being. The artist wants to evoke the mystery and the wisdom that surrounds these fantastic creatures. She explains, “‘TROLL’ is a rebellion against our outrageous ego in this consumption society. It’s meant to be a declaration of my intense love and longing for nature. “TROLL” is both raw, rough and uncompromising.” This intense feeling is not reserved only for moments of solitude but is created to be the companion of the listeners in their daily activities to strengthen them and to be “…A reminder of the truth is and have always been in the mystery.” as Elliphant expresses.

The abrasive nature of “TROLL” might not be for everyone. It’s an album that challenges comfort zones, forces introspection, and throws societal expectations out the window. It’s loud, unapologetic, and in-your-face, much like the mythical creature that inspired its title. But beneath the sonic fury lies a powerful message: embrace your individuality, reclaim your primal instincts, and connect with the wildness within and without.
