Elana Brody, an artist celebrated for her captivating voice and soulful songwriting, is thrilled to announce the release of her new album The Garden, available on all platforms September 20th, 2024. Known for her dynamic performances and ethereal presence, Brody is bringing her magical music to audiences across the country with newly added tour dates, including stops in Denver and Paonia, CO.
About The Garden
The Garden is a heartfelt exploration of Brody’s deep connection to nature, spirituality, and her childhood homestead in the West Allegheny Mountains. Drawing inspiration from the lush forests and wildlife that surrounded her as a child, the album celebrates the beauty of the earth through poetic lyrics, gospel-infused piano, and harmonious vocals. It features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Samara Jade, Erik Kertes (Shakira), Jason Burger (Big Thief), Alec Spiegelman (Cuddle Magic), and Kiara Ana Perico (Adele).
Brody’s distinct blend of folk, cabaret, pop, and gospel influences is rooted in her experiences growing up on a farm, where she learned to attune herself to the rhythms of the natural world. The Garden reflects her journey back to these roots, creating a sonic landscape that honors the sacredness of the earth and its wonders. Songs like "You Are the Sun" and "The Insect" offer a glimpse into her spiritual connection to the earth, love, and the divine.
