Title - Services [EP]
Artist - Shira Elias

For those unaware, LA-based futuristic R&B-funk artist, Shira Elias has released her highly anticipated sophomore EP, Services today.

Alongside the full project comes the latest triumphant, self-assured single �OK� where the silky track explores the complex feelings that come with exiting an unhealthy relationship, and the moments of acceptance and relief that follow.

Services the EP is a dreamy, six track collection from Elias that boldly encapsulates the singer�s growth as she further establishes her sound and discovers more of herself�both as an artist and as a person.

The release of the EP picks up where Elias� 2020 debut EP, Goods the EP left off. It kicks off a new chapter for the singer, one that is refined and self-assured. Elias explains, �Where �GOODS� was my first solo endeavor, really trying to find a voice while still living and grinding in New York, �SERVICES� is me exploring a new world, moving to Los Angeles during a global pandemic, and trying to love who I am.�

�I think you can really hear the evolution and the difference in the writing and production.� Produced by MEGA, featuring co-writing by Mackenzie Green and Taplin on keys, Elias is thrilled to share her most realized body of work to date.

1. TOXIC
2. HOOK�D
3. ILSD
4. EARTH SUN
5. PERFECTLY ABLE
6. OK

This highly-intoxicating, and warmly-heartfelt new EP opens on the ethereally effervescent, R&B jam TOXIC and the pop-tastic bounce about animalistic love within HOOK�D and then moves seamlessly into the lushly orchestrated ILSD (featuring talk-box by�Swatkins), the mid-tempo, soul-imbued, dance floor slide of EARTH SUN, rounding out on the smooth, love balladry grooves of PERFECTLY ABLE (a duet with co-writer and vocalist�MacKenzie Green), coming to an all-too-soon close on the aching yearn found within the veritable gossamer of OK.

As noted, alongside the release of the EP is the project�s newest emotional single �OK.� The sleek, sultry track allows Elias to find peace in parting with someone she once loved. Delving into the nuances of love, Elias ultimately finds confidence in leaving the unhealthy relationship behind and proudly recognizes her self worth.

�This is an ANTHEM for me. I needed to make this song for myself,� says Elias. �For so long I let myself be in a toxic situation because of fear. OK is the final moment of acceptance and honoring that it�s OK to walk away and it�s OK to acknowledge that you are worth all of it. I think everyone can relate in some way or another to feeling stuck in a situation, and I hope that everyone can chant along at the end, that epiphany, �I NEVER NEEDED YOU.� I really dug deep for the emotion in this one.�
