Eliya Grace has released her debut EP Message to Myself, a three-track project issued on 6 August 2026. Written and composed by Grace, also known as Chen Eliya Nahmias, the release combines acoustic instrumentation, indie-folk songwriting and alternative-rock textures across a total running time of just over twelve minutes. The EP is structured around personal reflection, recovery and self-discovery. Its concept is direct: each song works as a message written at a different point in the artist’s development. This gives the project continuity without forcing the three tracks into a conventional narrative sequence.
Wonderland opens the EP and also serves as its audiovisual focus through a new official music video. At 4:33, it is the longest track on the release. The arrangement establishes the project’s core balance between folk intimacy and broader alternative dynamics, while the vocal performance places the lyric and its themes of wonder, spirituality and renewed connection at the front of the mix. Life’s Melody is the shortest track at 3:53 and introduces the EP’s most clearly documented instrumental variation. Violin by Shawn Law Yone Gilad joins guitars by Or Gurfinkel and cello by Romi Kopelman. The additional string colour supports the song’s reflective tone and gives the centre of the EP a wider harmonic profile without changing its acoustic foundation.

Feathers Shoulders closes the release in 4:15. Its placement consolidates the record’s recurring interest in weight, fragility and resilience. Rather than introducing a separate stylistic direction, the final track completes the EP’s unified language and reinforces Grace’s preference for direct, emotionally grounded songwriting. Production and sound engineering were handled by Or Gurfinkel and Ronen Sabo, with mastering by ADi ROTEM. The production supports the singer-songwriter format by keeping acoustic instruments and voice clearly defined. The record avoids excessive density, allowing changes in strings, guitar texture and vocal intensity to provide its internal contrast.
Grace has written songs since the age of sixteen and describes her work as a meeting point between folk intimacy, alternative-rock texture and personal storytelling. Message to Myself presents that identity in a concise format: three related songs, a controlled instrumental palette and a thematic focus that remains consistent from the opening track to the close.
As a debut, Message to Myself is effective because it defines a clear artistic framework rather than attempting to demonstrate every possible direction. The EP is available across streaming services and Bandcamp, while the official video for Wonderland extends the campaign with a dedicated visual component.
