With How You Feel, Finnish violinist and genre-blender Elisa V continues her mission to bring the classical violin into modern sonic spaces — and once again proves just how effortlessly it can belong there. After making a confident solo debut with Love of Yesterday, she returns with a second single that leans deeper into emotion, atmosphere and introspection. This time, the sound is moodier, more melancholic, and more personal, revealing a new layer of her artistry.
Classically trained at the prestigious Sibelius Academy and raised in a family of musicians, Elisa V is no stranger to the rigour and discipline of traditional performance. Yet her career has always stretched far beyond the concert stage, taking her to luxury venues, global festivals, and performances for royalty, world leaders, and even the Pope. That global, border-less approach to music is exactly what makes How You Feel so striking. Here, she blends the elegance of classical violin with the pulse of contemporary deep house, creating a track that feels both modern and timeless, both emotionally charged and effortlessly cool.
The violin is, unsurprisingly, the centrepiece — but never in a showy, virtuosic way. Instead, Elisa lets the instrument breathe, sigh, and shimmer, weaving melodic lines that feel like they’re speaking directly to the listener. Wrapped around warm electronic production, those classical textures take on new life, turning the track into a kind of emotional fusion: equal parts club-ready atmosphere and cinematic melancholy. Elisa has said that this blending of sounds was a challenge for her, but that it allows music to be felt on an entirely new level. How You Feel proves exactly that. It’s elegant, contemporary, and quietly powerful — a confident step forward from an artist who’s redefining what the violin can be in today’s musical landscape.
