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.”

 

 Check out reviews on “Stringing Me Along” below:

– Article from Recording Artists Guild Digital Magazine: “The lyrics felt grounded and relatable, but what really sold them was her delivery. It understands its lineage and settles into it comfortably, with just enough modern polish to feel fresh. There is no pretending here, no studio gloss trying to cover anything up. Just solid songwriting, a compelling voice, and a sound that feels timeless. I will be keeping an eye out for what Iyla Elise does next.”

– Review from Pitch Perfect: “It’s the kind of track that feels carefully shaped but never rigid. Elise has a way of making vulnerability feel like strength, and that quiet intensity makes the track feel surprisingly intimate. It’s not flashy, but it’s honest, and that makes all the difference.”
