Elena Matei has today released her new video for the single titled ‘Lost in Time’. Soul with a goal, or pop with a purpose, however you chose to describe it, there is an emotion behind the electronic vibe. The best songs to sing are often the hardest to compose. They come from that place inside of us that hurts when touched. ‘Lost in Time’ touches that spot with the pain of a poet and the feeling of a true artist for others to hear and relate to.

The video is touched by metaphors and embraced by the music to combine into a lucid combination of soul and solution.

About ‘Lost in Time’

Elena Matei masterfully captures the core of affection in her new single, “Lost in Time,” taking listeners through the trials and tribulations of love. The lyrics reflect Matei’s decision to hold onto love, with lines like “You used to tell me I’m your heaven, How could an angel fall apart from above?” Matei’s powerful vocal delivery brings these emotions to life, making the song a heartfelt experience for listeners.

The music video for “Lost in Time” complements the song’s emotional depth with striking visuals set in the stark, colorless backdrop of a Los Angeles subway station. She stands out in a vibrant yellow coat and dress, symbolizing hope and resilience against a bleak background. The video features intimate close-ups of Matei inside and in front of a moving subway, contrasted with scenes of a man in the same pose, emphasizing their deep connection and tension. Their embrace at both the beginning and end of the video serves as a metaphor for enduring love and the cyclical nature of their relationship.

Elena Matei, hailing from the agricultural landscape of the Eastern European Republic of Moldova, discovered her love for music at a young age. While her peers played outdoors, she found solace in singing, initially focusing on national folkloric music before pursuing pop opera training in Romania. At 16, she unexpectedly delved into modeling, signing with Elite Models after being spotted by a renowned agent in New York City.

Her modeling career soared as she worked with top brands like Tommy Hilfiger, The Blonds, Kentina, Beach Bunny, Guess, and Revlon, and appeared in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and ELLE. Embracing her multifaceted talents, Matei seamlessly blends her modeling prowess with her passion for music, captivating audiences worldwide. With a growing Instagram following of over 377k, she is gearing up to release her debut album in 2024, culminating years of hard work. Since her musical debut, she has gained praise from champions at People Magazine, Broadway World, EARMILK, and more.

About Elena Matei

Elena Matei is a singer-songwriter and an international supermodel. She first rose to prominence by gracing the covers of top magazines including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Ocean Drive, Marie Claire, and Maxim. Now, with soaring multi-octave power, she debuts as a radiant pop vocalist.

With a “popera” voice, skillfully divided among sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, and contraltos, as acclaimed by legendary record producer and arranger David Foster, her latest single, “Rock It, “is poised to be a captivating introduction. Rising from a remarkable modeling career and a flourishing journey in music, Elena is currently basking in her moment, as she gears up to release her debut full-length album in 2024. The album has been in the making for the past two years and will be available on Apple, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube, Vimeo, and SoundCloud, offering her audience a diverse array of platforms to enjoy her music.

Cast in a sparkling aura of melodic Euro-pop, Elena’s rich coloratura is assured, inviting, and irresistible. Drawing inspiration from icons like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Roxette, she shares that the messages within her self-penned lyrics aim to inspire unity and mutual support. “It’s a reminder that we are all interconnected,” she emphasizes. “Regardless of our origins, we share the same universal emotions.”Before her introduction to the high-gloss fashion world, Elena was immersed in music. Growing up in the agricultural landscape in the Eastern European Republic of Moldova, when other kids were outside playing, she was inside singing. “Sometimes using a pillow to catch my high notes so I wouldn’t scare anyone,” she laughs. Her dad introduced her to music from the U.S. and around the world, icons like Madonna, Pavarotti, and Lara Fabian.

After specializing in national folkloric styles in music school, she transferred to an academy in Romania where she trained in pop opera. And while she never intended to be a model, she tested and launched her career at age 16. Spotted in New York by an influential agent, she signed to the powerhouse Elite Models and became an international sensation where she went on to work with brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, The Blonds, Kentina, Beach Bunny, Guess, and Revlon. She was an Angel featured in the book”Angels” shot by world-renowned photographer Russell James. Notably, Russell also lensed Elena for the captivating “Raw Spirit” fragrance campaign, showcasing her versatility and undeniable allure.

It was fashion legend Donna Karan who encouraged her musical endeavors, Elena remembers. “I was on set shooting with photographer Russell James for a Victoria’s Secret campaign. Russell told Donna that I did music, and she asked me to sing. Then she called Barbra Streisand, I sang, and she connected me with producer David Foster.” With her music career gaining traction, she met journalist, producer, filmmaker, and media marketing entrepreneur Giselle Fernandez who introduced her to the music industry luminaries who now help guide her career.

While high-level associations confirm her musical aptitude, it is Elena’s collaborations with her accomplished creative team that is bringing her vision to life, in cinematic videos shot in the U.S. and Romania, and behind the mic in the recording studio, as she translates her truth to the tracks. While her breathtaking beauty serves as a striking first impression, Elena Mateihas transcended mere aesthetics, defining herself as a musical artist through her extraordinary voice. “I aspire to vocalize my emotions and convey my messages to the world,” she affirms. “It’s the fire in my soul that drives me to do it.”
