Artist News CMU Approved Releases
Approved: Tonguetied
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 23 May 2023
Elena Garcia releases ‘Losing My Mind’, her debut single as Tonguetied, today. A raw and emotional track, Garcia’s electronic production builds in intensity along with the lyrics, which document a low point in her mental health.
“2021 was a tough year for me, a year of survival, a year of confusion, my brain felt like it was my own worst enemy”, she says. “Whilst part of me craved being removed from it all, this feeling of detachment equally made me feel like I was starting to lose grip on my sanity”.
“Looking back now it may have been one of the first times I had truly been honest with myself”, she goes on. “I hit record and it all just blurted out. It was important for me to keep those original vocal takes, as I knew the emotion in that evening was not something that could truly be captured again”.
“In the moment, sadness may have been the driving factor, but reflecting on the writing process now, many other emotions are interlaced into ‘Losing My Mind”, she concludes. “Relief, anger and, perhaps most surprisingly, planted by my honesty that night, a small but very mighty feeling of hope”.
