ETAN – I’m Back (2021)

The coming of Spring is a wonderful time of nature awakening and the feeling of new life. ETAN encapsulates this with her single ‘I’m Back’ which brings the blossoming tones of Spring to your ears. Touching on bouncing back after a relapse in mental health, the song fills you with feel-good vibes and the hope that new life brings.

While written after a dark time for ETAN, the single is all light and rebuilding. Having started her musical training at age 5, she draws on the experience of a lifetime to create her passionate sound. Carrying deep messages in her music, she uses a unique voice and style to help listeners through tough times.



‘I’m Back’ pops to life with a feeling of awakening that moves into a bright melody. There is a driving beat that propels you forward while delicate high notes sparkle through your senses. With an easy flow, the melody gets you moving to its rhythm. There is a lightness woven into every note of the track that makes you smile. While there is a really solid foundation for the melody, the higher notes pop, drip and dance around you. You feel like you want to grab onto them only for them to playfully dance out of your reach.

Against the driving beats, ETAN’s vocals dance with the higher tones. Her voice is like the sunlight of spring as light green leaves open up and bring their awakening with them. There is a brightness to her performance that lifts your spirits and fills you with positive energy. You can’t help but feel your soul lighten as you listen. With each word, she acknowledges the doubts that plague all of us while offering a friendly hand that leads you into the light.

ETAN uses gentle flows and twinkling lights to fill you with bright energy and the feeling of good vibes in ‘I’m Back’. Through the light movement of the melody, she pulses good vibes into your vein while lifting doubts and sadness from your shoulders. Her vocals are delicate as they work through the darkness and lead you into the light.
