A multifaceted and committed artist, Ely continues to carve out a unique space in the French-speaking music scene with rare authenticity. In 2025, she returns with “O2”, a five-track EP that is both delicate and emotionally raw, exploring the deepest shades of love and resilience. A body of work that radiates maturity and marks a pivotal moment in the journey of an artist who stays true to herself.
A sonic cocoon where emotions collide
“O2” builds on Ely’s past musical explorations, taking her lyrical depth to new heights. The songwriting is introspective and precise, delving into raw emotions — passion, heartbreak, hope, and doubt. With its elegant and layered production, the project blends R’n’B, pop, hip-hop, and Caribbean influences into a rich and immersive sonic universe.
Balancing emotional intensity with subtle arrangements, Ely masterfully brings together vulnerability and strength in a cohesive, deeply melodic project.
An immersive video experience by Visual Records
To accompany the release of the EP, Ely presents a groundbreaking visual: “Backstage Girl Trip”, directed by Visual Records. Designed as a 360-degree immersive experience, the video breaks the traditional music video format to offer a sensory journey into Ely’s universe — one shaped by feminine power, introspection, and dreamlike imagery. The camera follows her movements, capturing her gaze and unveiling the unspoken truths of an artist who tells her story as much through performance as through sound.
An independent voice rooted in connection and purpose
Since the release of her debut album “LOVE” in 2022 — a heartfelt farewell to her former identity as Estly — Ely has remained committed to her audience while constantly pushing creative boundaries. In 2023, she co-created the EP “Nos Capsules” live with her Instagram followers, turning digital connection into artistic collaboration.
That same year, she became a spokesperson for the breast cancer association Soleil Rose, composing their anthem “Octobre Rose”, and launching her own charitable festival, Octobher, to spotlight female artists and support the cause.
In 2024, she released the collaborative EP “FEATS”, featuring a range of artists, with the track “DRPLT” standing out as a personal manifesto. The single “Juste une nuit” also made waves with its unfiltered take on heartbreak and emotional pain.
Looking ahead: independence as a strength
Still navigating the music industry as an independent artist, Ely continues to shape her own path. Two new EPs are already in the works for the upcoming season, and a secret album is reportedly complete. A label deal in 2026? Only time will tell. What’s certain is that Ely remains a bold, free voice attuned to her audience.
With “O2” and “Backstage Girl Trip”, Ely once again proves her ability to fuse artistic vision, emotional depth, and cultural relevance. An artist not to be missed.
