Navigating emotional terrain: a review of Elephante’s Album COPE

November 29, 20242 min read

A new album from Elephante is here, and it’s worth sitting down with.
COPE arrives as a deeply personal exploration of healing, with Elephante sharing with us the complexities of emotional resilience through his signature electronic sound.
The album weaves through different collaborative voices – Ridgely, Linney, Amber Liu, Daye– each track mapping out a different approach to processing life’s challenges. It feels less like a dance record and more like an intimate conversation.

Let’s see my personal favorites:

Say It Like You Mean It (ft. Ridgely)
86/100

There’s something raw about this opener. Ridgely’s vocals blend with Elephante’s production in a way that feels genuinely vulnerable. It’s not trying to be an anthem, just an honest moment of reflection.

Taste of Your Tongue (ft. babyidontlikeyou)
85/100

This track nails that weird space between nostalgia and bad decisions. You know that moment when you’re thinking about an ex and everything feels both exciting and slightly terrible? That’s this song. Punchy beats, shimmering synths – it captures those complicated emotional landscapes perfectly.

I Don’t Miss You Anymore
83/100

A track that sounds like actual emotional progress. Not dramatic, just quietly powerful.
COPE feels less like an electronic album and more like a thoughtful journey. Elephante is documenting his inner journey without drama, creating an intimacy that feels almost uncomfortably real.

Don’t Turn Back (ft. Linney)
79/100

Linney brings a haunting depth to the track. An explosive Future Bass drop complements her incredible vocal performance, revealing Elephante’s evolving artistic range and willingness to experiment.

Amends
77/100

Stripped back and introspective. Healing isn’t always grand – sometimes it’s just a quiet acknowledgment. This drum & bass experiment features a warm vocal and introspective lyrics riding a peaceful, slightly dark bassline.

Concluding, the album’s strength lies in its authenticity. There’s no forcing of emotions, no dramatic overproduction – just genuine exploration of what it means to move through pain, nostalgia, and ultimately, growth. Elephante proves once again that electronic music can be deeply personal. COPE will move you in ways far more profound than any beat drop could.
