German melodic power metal band ELA return with a powerful standalone release: a reimagined cover of ABBA's timeless classic "SOS", accompanied by an official music video.
Originally released in 1975, "SOS" is one of ABBA's most iconic and emotionally charged songs - a milestone in pop history which blends vulnerability, melodic brilliance and universal appeal. With this new version, ELA pay tribute to the original while reshaping it through their own modern rock and metal-infused sound, giving the song a darker edge and renewed intensity without losing its unmistakable identity.
Driven by Michaela Eichhorn's expressive and commanding vocal performance, ELA's interpretation of "SOS" explores the song's emotional core from a different perspective: more dramatic, heavier in atmosphere, yet deeply respectful of the original composition. The accompanying video visually amplifies this reinterpretation, translating the song's themes of emotional distance, longing and urgency into striking images.
"Our singer is a confessing ABBA fan since her childhood and a dream becomes true for her to make her very own version of this great music. ABBA wrote music history, so for us it was a pleasure, an honor to work on this masterpiece. For a long decade ABBA has been very popular - and we think this will never end. We hope you like it. Enjoy!"
The release of "SOS" marks another step in ELA's ongoing creative journey, bridging classic songwriting and contemporary rock aesthetics, while offering listeners a familiar song seen through a completely new lens.
