Rediscovery

Elaquent

2023

With everything gained as you navigate adulthood, there is often a corresponding sense of loss. For all the accrued wisdom and freedom to map your own destiny, it can become harder to find joy and a sense of wonder. What instilled magic and excitement as a kid can feel remote and inaccessible. As Pablo Picasso famously claimed: “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” This is the subtext of Elaquent’s latest Mello Music Group release, Rediscovery.

“The record signifies a return to form. I wanted to rediscover the things in my life that make me happy and help me find my inner child,” Elaquent says. “Martial arts movies, pro wrestling, video games, collecting action figures, traveling – all things that I grew up loving that at some point I fell out of love with – the one’s that over the last few years, I really started falling in love with again. I wanted to dedicate the album to that feeling.”
