I’m delighted I invested in a new set of headphone recently because Elaine Mai’s The Colour Of The Night EP sounds absolutely phenomenal through them. Her atmospheric concoctions slowly wrap you up and lift you to a plateau of heavenly delight as you groove along to the sweetest of melodies she has become known for.
The EP kicks off with Enniscrone and sets the tone wonderfully for the 5 tracks that are an uplifting delight for the listener. Almost three years in the making, her new EP is a cathartic piece of work which centres around the common human experiences of grief and hope, but you’ll also find elements of pure joy too.
Elaine Mai will be playing the Body and Soul festival, Westmeath // 23rd – 25th June, her music is tailor made for events like this and I’m sure her performance will be one of the ones worth capturing.
