Elijah Woods, a breakout pop performer and producer, is back with his bright new tune “Slicked Back Hair.” He just finished a tour of Asia. The song comes after his recent release, “Ghost on the Radio,” and is a preview of his highly awaited first album, Can We Talk?, which comes out on October 14.
Equal parts funny and heartbreaking, “Slicked Back Hair” is a feel-good anthem about growth, vulnerability, and lasting connection. Elijah explains, “This song is about meeting someone who changes everything, like the kind of person who turns you from a caterpillar into a butterfly.”
Elijah’s first album, Can We Talk?, is a turning point in his career. Over the past five years, Elijah has emerged as an independent global artist, garnering over 1 billion streams, a fan base of over 5 million followers, and the freedom to tour the world at his own pace. The record reflects the closeness and emotional depth that make up his music while also completely embracing the smart, catchy pop sounds that have helped him become famous.
