Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Elijah Wolf returned last week with his new single “Fading”, taken from his forthcoming album Forgiving Season, which arrives on June 23 via Mtn Laurel Recording Co.
“Fading” was co-written along with Sam Cohen, who also produced the record. The track is tender and assured personal slice of indie folk that has a warm and inviting feel that channels some of the greats of the genre with an eye toward the future.
Explaining the origin of the track, Wolf adds:
“I wrote Fading about the experience of meeting someone special while fighting the impulse to self-sabotage. The song deals with the tangled emotions of excitement, fear, and the euphoria of total surrender. I wrote it after meeting someone who made me feel present and in sync. As good as it felt, I couldn’t help but feel the anxiety of allowing someone in. To me this song is about the process I went through to reach acceptance and an openness to new experiences and the happiness it brought me”
