Elestee’s 2023 EP, “POISN”, serves as a powerful testament to the artist’s versatility and sharp lyrical talent. While the title might suggest something harmful, Elestee has explained that “POISN” is meant to be an “antidote for those seeking a well-rounded artist who refuses to be pigeon-holed”.
Clocking in at about 14 minutes, the EP blends Afrobeats, hip-hop, R&B, alté, and pop influences into a cohesive yet adventurous soundscape. Tracks like the lead single “Unbeliever” (which directly addresses her doubters) and the collaborations “Addicted” (feat. Magixx) and “Blessed” (feat. Chocobantis) are noted for their polished production and infectious melodies.
“POISN” is a concise and impressive follow-up to her debut, establishing Elestee as a dynamic artist to watch in the contemporary Afrobeats and hip-hop scene.
