Eylsia Nicolas’ “A Beautiful Mess” Will Make You Dive Headfirst Into The Flame

You can’t call it pop music if it doesn’t play between chaos and sleek hooks. And there are rare cuts like Eylsia Nicolas’ “A Beautiful Mess” thriving in that duality, the kind that will leave you aching and glistening at the same time.

Eylsia Nicolas is an American singer-songwriter of Irish and Filipino heritage. From dominating tennis courts, being an Executive Vice President at a record company, to becoming a singer-songwriter, her journey isn’t something you could call ordinary—and the best part is you’ll also hear it in her works.

It’s very much evident from the start that Eylsia knows how to set the stage on fire, boldly admitting “I fell in love when I knew it was wrong.” There’s this pop polish gloss from the production and it’s the kind that will make you turn your head twice on the radio or send you off to the middle of an overcrowded club.

Eylsia’s lyricism is at its peak in the way she pulls you to dive headfirst into the flame. Whether it’s desire, self-destruction, or cutting her heart open, her voice carries it with ease without losing style and honesty. You wouldn’t even guess she faced a setback from a damaged vocal. With the help of tech and AI, she bounced back, opening a path for her new creative ground.

One thing about A Beautiful Mess is it sounds exactly like its name. Eylsia isn’t afraid to be loud, to overflow and spill her emotions, to burst like fireworks with her love despite the flicks and burns—and that’s what sets it apart. In the audacity and the recklessness, you’ll find its brilliance.
