Originally from Ottawa and now based in Los Angeles, Elijah Woods has already made a big name for himself with more than 1 billion streams, sold-out headline tours across Canada and Asia, opening for people such as Niall Horan with four JUNO Award nominations, multiple platinum and gold certifications and five EPs released in just the past three years. 

And finally, the independent and acclaimed pop singer, songwriter, and producer released his highly anticipated debut album, “Can We Talk?” on 14 October. The 11-track project sounds like the love child of catchy lyricism and vulnerability. 

Elijah described “Can We Talk?” as his most personal project yet. 

“It’s a collection of late night thoughts and real conversations—things I’ve said, things I wish I’d said, and things I’ll probably never say out loud. For me, it’s about the messy, beautiful parts of trying to connect with people and how easy it is to get lost in miscommunication. At the same time, I was chasing a sense of sonic maturity—finding comfort in letting songs breathe emotionally while still pulling listeners in with production that feels big, bold, and alive. This album feels like finally letting people sit in the room with me while I figure it all out.”

The album’s release is paired with the official music video for the opening track and single, “So Good,” a catchy pop song that captures the rush of meeting and falling for someone new. “‘So Good’ is about that feeling when someone walks into your life and suddenly everything feels lighter, easier, and better than you expected–the craving for something you just can’t get over,” Elijah explains.
