South African-born songstress Elaine has kicked off her campaign for this year with a brand new trap soul addition to her ‘serrate’, a mellow tune titled Shine.

On her new song, Elaine takes a different tone to her usual writing style, and, surprisingly, opens up about a love interest. Whether, in this scenario, art imitates life, remains unknown, since the songstress keeps a low profile on her love life.
But, on Shine, Elaine throws it all on the line for her ‘baby’. The song sees the songstress escape into the gaze of her romantic partner, cheering him on to “live inside your moment” with her right by his side.
All eyes locked on you
Are they seein’ what I’m seein’, baby?
Ooh-ooh
Like diamonds flashin’ lights
Your aura’s so bright when I’m near you, baby
Shine is Elaine’s first single of 2022, a follow-up to Right Now, the first non-album single she dropped in 2021, following her deal with Columbia Records.
It is unclear, at this stage, how far Elaine is into her debut album. All fans have gotten thus far is an EP and a few loosies over a span of three years.
The audio version of the new single is available on every digital streaming platform. The music video will premiere at 18:30 CAT on YouTube, and in the lead-up to the drop, Elaine will host a watch party with fans on Instagram Live.
