Elestee’s “Mentally, I’m Here” is a sharp, six-track evolution for the Mavin Records signee. Moving away from the niche alternative textures of her 2023 debut, this EP sees her fully embracing her dual identity as both a polished rapper and a soulful Afropop vocalist.
The EP is a masterclass in genre-bending, blending Afrobeats, melodic rap, and sultry R&B. Elestee uses the project to navigate the “messy” transition of her mid-20s, balancing themes of self-assertion with romantic vulnerability.
“Mentally, I’m Here” is less about “existential submission” and more about mental clarity. It proves that Elestee is no longer just “emerging”, she is a fully formed artist who can pivot from gritty bars to club-ready hooks without losing her edge.
