Albums | Elohim Opens Up in Expanded ‘Power of Panic’ Deluxe Edition
Posted by VMan on March 7, 2025
Elohim, the ever-authentic electronic maestro, has returned with an expanded look into her emotionally charged album, Power of Panic. This deluxe edition boasts a collection of bonus tracks – a deeper dive into her intimate battles with anxiety, framed with vulnerability and quiet strength. Elohim’s bold reimagining of AWOLNATION’s powerhouse hit, “Sail,” trades the original’s gritty intensity for a stripped-down serenade, showcasing her delicate yet gripping vocal talent. Paired perfectly is the introspective interlude “Scratch My Brain,” which briefly halts the flow of the album, simulating the scattered thoughts that accompany anxiety’s peaks.
Beyond these new sonic entries, Elohim’s transparency about mental health transforms her album into a shared experience. Her openness about reaching breaking points on relentless tours and grappling with anxiety through substances creates a relatable narrative, infusing her music with raw honesty rarely seen in the industry. It’s this authenticity that’s connected Elohim with listeners, turning her music into an emotional refuge.
With over 300 million streams and collaborations alongside electronic titans like Skrillex, Marshmello, and Big Gigantic, Elohim’s accolades continue to stack impressively high. Her compelling stage presence at festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Electric Forest further cements her spot as an electronic music staple. Elohim’s tracks consistently land in prime playlist real estate, from Spotify’s ‘Women of Electronic’ to Apple Music’s ‘Future Hits,’ underscoring her support in the industry.
The Power of Panic (Deluxe Edition) enriches Elohim’s narrative of resilience and artistic truth, inviting listeners deeper into her compelling story.

It’s the kind of track you’d want to play on repeat, whether you’re looking for catharsis or just a killer groove.
“I wanted to capture the emotional chaos of being caught in a situation where your heart is telling you one thing and your mind is telling you another. It’s about the messiness of love and the courage to face it head-on,” explains Karasu Merodi.
