A LETTER FROM LUANA AND DANI TO ALL OUR FRIENDS!
___________________
Hi dear friends!!
Today is a very, very exciting day for us!
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we have formed a new band: THE ELYSIAN LOVERS!
The birth of THE ELYSIAN LOVERS marks a new beginning for us.
In the last few years, paradoxically yet organically, our emotional and musical response to the challenges, problems, and tragedies we all face in this very dark phase of human history has been to let our inner light shine brighter, and to joyfully celebrate through our music the magnificent power of Love as a cosmic force.
This has naturally, without any conscious intention, led us to write, purely for personal pleasure, many uplifting, joyous, hope-filled songs that we absolutely adore, and that we will soon be delighted to share with you all as THE ELYSIAN LOVERS.
These songs spring from a very different side of our inner beings than the one we’ve always let roam free in our Belladonna songs, and we felt that releasing them under a new band name was the right thing to do, out of respect for these new songs and for the Belladonna catalogue. And of course, this does not mean it is the end of Belladonna, which will continue to write and release music in the future.
Soon we’ll tell you more about THE ELYSIAN LOVERS’ songs, and soon you will be able to hear them. We hope they will infuse you with all the love and light we have poured into them.
We send you all a big hug, together with the opening lyrics of one of these new songs, a sort of manifesto for this new chapter of our artistic life:
“When you feel irrationally lonely�If you feel inordinately hollow�Let me amend the meter of your heartbeat�Let me bend the cage bars of your mind”
Luana and Dani 🌻
