The album will be released via LAW Records and drops on June 9!

There’s so many satisfying layers to this collection, they’ve definitely hit a homerun with the making of this album.

The Elovaters continue their string of easy listening singles with the release of “M.I.A” The acoustic driven track gives a touch of country, with Nashville style piano and slide guitar, but longtime fans of The Elovaters will still clearly hear their recognizable sound.
