HOT TRACK: “Suicide in Her Head” by Elijah Cruise

Opening with an explosive bassline, “Suicide in Her Head”, the latest from Elijah Cruise reminds me of the icons and legends of goth music – Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, The Joy Division, and Love and Rockets to name a few.

Written and produced by Elijah, he says this of the song’s sound,

“I poured my heart and soul into this track, influenced by legends and mashed up alternative rock, emo, and 80s dark wave vibes to create something special.”

And create something special is just what he did.

While “Suicide in Her Head” has a spectacular beat, wonderful rhythms, succulent synths, and gorgeous vocals, its true power lies within its visceral lyrics. With unflinching and unblinking lyrics, Elijah gives an honest look into a girl struggling against the mental demons that fill  her mind. In reality, that girl could be anyone fighting mental battles no one can see.

Elijah says,

“’Suicide In Her Head’ isn’t just a song – it’s representation for anyone who’s felt alone in their room, letting them know they’re not walking this path by themselves.”

Elijah Cruise‘s “Suicide in Her Head” not only pays homage to the goth music icons but transcends into a compassionate anthem, echoing the silent struggles shared by many in the shadows of their minds.
