Check out a review on “Jet Plane” on the music blog, Pitch Perfect, here.Check out music reviews on “Mother of My Mother” below:
– Review from Buzz Slayers Blog: “Iyla Elise is one of those artists whose voice doesn’t just carry a melody; it feels like it’s carrying history.”
– Article from Recording Artists Guild Digital Magazine: “Iyla Elise’s latest single, “Mother of My Mother,” hit me in a way I didn’t expect. The song leans into Americana, country, and blues, but it doesn’t rest on genre conventions. Instead, it tells a multi-generational story through rich arrangements and a vocal performance that’s both powerful and tender. It is life affirming in the most grounded sense, never cloying, never overreaching. Just a clear eyed reflection on gratitude, memory, and the weight of the women who came before.”
– Blog review from The Sounds Won’t Stop: “Iyla Elise traces the thread of generational memory on her new single “Mother of My Mother,” a quietly powerful song that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.”
