After a sold-out headline tour across Asia, pop artist and producer elijah woods is back with a vibrant new single, “Slicked Back Hair.” The track follows his recent release “Ghost on the Radio” and is a first look at his highly anticipated debut album, Can We Talk?, which arrives on October 14.
“Slicked Back Hair” is a feel-good anthem that’s both playful and heartfelt. It explores themes of growth, vulnerability, and lasting connection. As elijah explains, the song is about “meeting someone who changes everything—the kind of person who turns you from a caterpillar into a butterfly.” With his signature blend of clever hooks and catchy production, the single perfectly captures the sound that has fueled his rise as a global independent artist.
This debut album marks a defining moment for elijah, who has spent the last five years building a massive global presence entirely on his own terms. He has amassed over a billion streams and built a fanbase of more than 5 million followers without the backing of a major label. Can We Talk? leans into the emotional depth of his music while showcasing the infectious pop sensibilities that have made him a force to be reckoned with.
