Elliie Debuts Soulful New Single – “What I Need From You”
Rising South African artist, Elliie, makes a bold and unforgettable release with her new single, “What I Need From You”. A raw yet refined offering that showcases her soulful depth, genre-blending sound and hauntingly intimate voice. Produced by longtime collaborator FDeeeZus, the track is a moody, minimalist soundscape that allows Elliie’s velvety vocals to take center stage. Laced with emotional nuance, “What I Need From You” explores the push and pull of love and loss, longing and independence. It is a song for anyone who has ever had to wrestle with vulnerability while finding the strength to choose themselves.
Rooted in classic R&B sensibilities but elevated by experimental electronic textures, Elliie’s sound is unmistakably her own—a fusion of alt-R&B, ambient, Afro-fusion and the rich, complex rhythms of Johannesburg. Her music dives deep into themes of identity, emotional resilience and self-discovery, weaving a narrative that resonates across cultures and continents.

“‘What I Need From You’ is about the space between hoping someone returns and realizing you’re strong enough if they don’t,” says Elliie. “It’s a reminder that love can be beautiful and painful—and still, we grow.”
Raised in the east of Johannesburg, Elliie channels her lived experiences into her music, crafting emotional landscapes that are as introspective as they are expansive. With her latest single, she invites listeners into a world shaped by vulnerability, honesty and a deep connection to her roots.
