Multi-platinum, 4x JUNO Award-nominated artist elijah woods closes out 2022 with the release of his new single “almost happy,” which he shares independently. With a stripped-down guitar offering an optimistically catchy backdrop against the contrastingly dark inner monologue encapsulated by gentle and airy vocals, woods collaborated with JUNO Award-winning artist JESSIA to craft an exceptionally raw story of someone who is dealing with internal battles and self-fulfillment. After a year of steady and meaningful growth as an artist, the pop singer-songwriter and producer offers a personal and self-reflective look at what it means to be “almost happy.”
