Fresh off his headline tour across Asia, breakout pop artist and producer elijah woods returns with his vibrant new single, “Slicked Back Hair.” The track follows his recent release “Ghost on the Radio” and previews his highly anticipated debut album, Can We Talk?, out October 14.
Equal parts playful and heartfelt, “Slicked Back Hair” is a feel-good anthem about growth, vulnerability, and lasting connection. “This song is about meeting someone who changes everything—the kind of person who turns you from a caterpillar into a butterfly,” says elijah.
His debut album, Can We Talk?, marks a defining moment in elijah’s career. Over the past five years, he has built a global presence as a fully independent artist, amassing more than 1 billion streams, cultivating a fanbase of over 5 million followers, and touring the world entirely on his own terms. The record captures the intimacy and emotional depth that define his music, while leaning fully into the clever, infectious pop sensibilities that have fueled his rise.
Originally from Ottawa and now based in Los Angeles, elijah woods is a multi-platinum pop artist, singer, songwriter, and producer. Known for his irresistible hooks, vivid storytelling, and signature production style, he has become one of pop’s most compelling solo acts as well as a sought-after collaborator.
With 4x JUNO Award nominations, multiple platinum and gold certifications, and five EPs released in just the past three years, elijah’s independent ascent has been extraordinary. After selling out his first Canadian headline tour in 2023, he quickly expanded onto the international stage, selling out shows across Asia, opening for Niall Horan in Jakarta, and performing at Seoul Jazz Festival and Japan’s Summer Sonic Festival.
Blending charisma, individuality, and a bold fashion sensibility, he has been spotlighted on the cover of Esquire Singapore and profiled by The Greatest Magazine and VMAN SEA. With his debut album on the horizon, elijah woods is primed to make 2025 his biggest year yet.
