Buzz Track: Fade Away

I received some new songs from Elisa, and I love it. It has hints of Owl City and Imogen Heap with catchy melodies and instrumentation. The new EP was produced by Gods Paparazzi/Lucian Walker who has produced and written songs for Sugar Ray, Alkaline Trio, Christian TV, The Deftones, among others. Elisa is a former member of Cobra Starship and has placed songs on “The Hills” “The City” “The Real World” “Tough Love” and other shows.
