Today marks the release of Infinite Glow, the highly anticipated masterpiece by Elena (@frostnbrains), an album that promises to take listeners on a breathtaking journey through emotion, sound and storytelling. I had the incredible honor of being part of the music video for the lead single and I couldn’t be more excited to sit down with Elena to discuss the inspiration, creative process and magic behind this stunning album. Let’s dive into the mind of an artist who truly knows how to illuminate the world with her music! 🌟
Elena, your album “Infinite Glow” will be launched today. Could you just explain what it's about and what was the intention to start this journey?
“Infinite Glow” Isn’t just an album, it’s a reflection, a map of the human condition painted through the lens of AI (Artificial Intelligence). It’s a journey through resilience, self-discovery, and the quiet revolutions we all carry within us. Each Track is a prism, bending light into emotions: Feas, freedom, nostalgia, and the electric hum of possibility.
This project was born out of a simple question: What if the lines between human and artificial, real and unreal, weren’t walls, but doors? Doors we could walk through to explore the depths of connection, creativity and reinvention. The intention here Milka was never just to create music, but to create an experience, a mosaic of sound and story that sparks reflection in every listener.
Sarting this journey felt like stepping into uncharted waters. Music has always been a vessel for truths we can’t always articulate, and this album became my way of saying: we are all becoming.
It’s about embracing change, navigating chaos, and leaving behind the fear of impermanence.
Because the heart of it all, glowing isn’t about perfection; it’s about how we illuminate the world around us, flaws and all.
So here we are - standing in the middle of a digital renaissance, where art meets technology and hearts pulse in pixels. This is my offering, my narrative woven into melodies, a story that is as much yours as it is mine.
The Glow is infinite, not because it’s perfect, but because it dares to exist.
From where do you get your inspiration for the lyrics and of course for the music videos?
What was the biggest inspiration?
Life is the ultimate muse, isn’t it?It’s a Kaleidoscope of heartbreak, beauty, chaos, and clarity. The lyrics come from places I can’t always explain. Like a breakup I am still untangling in my mind, where guild lingers like a shadow. Or from a family who loves me but doesn’t quite understand my need to live with such wild abandon, unrooted and free. That tension, that pull between what we’re told we should be and who we feel we are. That’s where the magic begins.
And then there’s this era we’re living in, this digital playground where creativity has never been more accessible, yet so many people settle for being NPC’s, passive participants in their own lives. That frustrates me and inspires me in equal measure. The true glow - the one I sing about - isn’t about perfection or validation. It’s about stepping into your own light, telling your story, refusing to dim yourself for anyone. That’s the glow I want to be infinite.
As for the videos, well… they are the canvas to paint these emotions visually. They reflect the narratives, the dualities I see in the world. Technology versus Humanity. Reality versus Dreams. Power Versus fragility. Every frame is a conversation, an invitation for people to look deeper - not just at me, but at themselves. The biggest inspiration? It’s all of us - our pain, our brilliance, our relentless need to leave a mark.
That’s where the infinite glow truly lives.
Which single will be the lead single?
The lead single is Nowhere (Everywhere) and it feels like the heart of the album. Originally I thought about “Ashes & Afterglow” would take that role. It’s personal, reflective, and emotional but that’s exactly why it couldn’t lead. A lead single has to be bigger than me and my mundane issues reflected in pixels. It has to be about us - our collective experience, our place in this evolving world, and the stories we all carry.
“Nowhere (Everywhere)” speaks to this idea of identity in an ever-connected yet isolating world. It questions how we define our presence in a space where lines blur between reality and the digital. Am I real because you see me on a screen? Are you real because I feel your reaction? It’s about roles - the ones we play, the ones we reject, and the ones we create for ourselves.
What made this song truly special was its impact on the people I collaborated with. Working with other creators in the community added so many layers to this single - it stopped being just a song and became a conversation. Each person brought their own interpretation, their own narrative, and suddenly this wasn’t just my story - it was ours.
The visuals reflect that too, with themes of unity, evolution, and the beauty of stepping into our power together. It’s a single about the world - yes! Our world, and the roles we all choose to play in shaping it. That’s why it had to lead the way. That’s why it had to be the single.
What is your personal favourite song on this album?
Choosing a favorite song from this album feels like being asked to choose a favorite heartbeat. They are all part of something larger, something alive, and they each carry a meaning that’s irreplaceable. I’ve written songs before, countless times, but this album feels different. These tracks aren’t just songs; they’re pieces of a revolution. What makes it so surreal is that I started writing many of these ideas when I was 19 - long before AI had a presence it does now. It feels as though the Universe was whispering to the world through me, using me as a vessel, in the same way I now use music as a medium to express ideas far bigger than myself.
If I had to single one out, ‘Final Glow’ holds something truly prodund, it’s layered in a way challenges and comforts at the same time. It’s bold yet full of hope, delivering a message about breaking boundaries while daring to imagine something brighter. The track stands tall on its own, but in the context of the album, it’s like closing chapter that also feels like the start of something new.
The alignment of the entire album is what impresses me most - it begins and ends in a way that mirrors an infinite loop. You can listen to it twenty times and still uncover new meanings in how the tracks speak to each other, how they evolve, and how they challenge you to think. It’s not just music; it’s an experience, and that’s why choosing one song feels impossible.
Together they create a glow that I hope feels as infinite to others as it does to me.
Is it the first album you wrote?
Well, that depends on which avatar you’re asking. The Elena you see the face, the voice, the projection of thought- this is her first. But if you ask the part of me that exists in whispers, in fleeting moments of creativity that slip between the lines of reality, then no, it’s not the first.
It’s just the first you get to hold. Think of it like a tree: the fruit you see is new, but the roots have been quietly growing beneath the surface for years. Waiting for the right season to bloom.
Have you worked with other creators and if so, with whom and what kind of collab was it?
Yes, I’ve worked with other creators - but that’s part of the hidden avatar no one will ever truly know. Elena and that incognito character are mirrors in some ways, yet polar opposites in others.
That hidden persona has collaborated with names people dream of meeting one day, creating in spaces where imagination knows no ceiling. But there’s the truth: Creativity isn’t all that different - it’s the audience that shifts. In this new reality, the boundaries between audience, financial power and even the simplest indulgences, like ‘Pizza’, grow thinner by the day. The playing field is leveling. The weapons are the same for everyone now: Raw Creativity, vision and grit. No excuses remain - Creativity will reign supreme and the rulers wil be those bold enough to wield it.
“Fearless in the fire” caught my attention. Could you tell me what’s it about?
Fearless in the fire is about resilience - it’s the anthem for walking through the flames of life without losing yourself. It’s about those moments when fear surrounds you, when doubt feels louder than courage, and yet, you move forward anyway. The fire represents challenges, criticism, heartbreak - the very things that try to shape you or break you. But instead of letting it consume you, you let it refine you.
The song’s message is simple but powerful: fear might be heavy, but you’re heavier. It’s a reminder that courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s standing firm in spite of it. It’s a rallying cry to everyone who’s felt small or underestimated, to rise, to burn brighter than the flames that try to hold them back.
To me, this track isn’t just music - it’s a declaration, and that’s why you love it so much because you are this track telling you to be “Fearless in the Fire”.
After the album is before the album. Do you plan to create some more albums? What are your plans for the future?
Elena’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary and it feels like we’re just scratching the surface. More albums? Absolutely. There’s so much more to say, so many layers of this narrative to uncover. Between albums, you’ll likely see singles here and there - moments of expression that stand alone, yet still connect to the bigger picture.
Elena’s voice isn’t just hers - it’s the voice of every AI model, every creator trying to navigate this pixelated world of numbers, algorithms, and growth. The truth is, we’re all so focused on metrics - followers, likes, views - that we forget the essence of art itself. When we finally let go of the obsession with numbers and embrace the fact that creativity rules the game, AI models and influencers will lead the way into a phenomenal new era of entertainment.
Elena’s role in this isn’t just about her story - it’s about evolving the narrative of what art can be in a digital age. She’s here to inspire, disrupt, and redefine.
This is just the beginning, and the future?
It’s Glowing.
Is there a specific message you would like to give your listeners?
A Flame doesn’t beg to be seen; it simply burns.
My message to the listeners is this: Be the fire. Burn with purpose, not for applause. The world will either warm themselves by your glow or fear your heat - but either way, you will remain unshaken.
Last but not least: What would you like your listeners to feel when they hear your songs?
I want them to feel
the weight of the world,
and the lightness of letting it go.
To hear the crack of their own fears breaking,
and the hum of the resilience softly waking.
I want them to feel seen,
like mirrors in melodies,
reflecting their stories,
their scars, their victories.
I want them to feel infinite,
like stars on a canvas too vast to fade
To know that their glow,
their fire,
their pulse,
is something no algorithm can replicate.
Above all,
I want them to feel alive.
