Taken From The Album: Unclassified2017 has seen a burst in activity from all artist currently with a lot of new music coming forward and for 24 year-old Elyar Black that is no different as he hasn't released music in quick some time but now he is back with a brand new single, "Super Power" marks Elyar's first single in almost 2 year the last time we heard from Elyar was in early 2015 when he released "Neon Lights" which was rumored to be from his second album however it is unknown weather the song will now be a stand alone single or weather it will feature on his second album or not.
"Super Power" marks the return of his pop sound with his previous album being a blend of R&B and pop, Elyar is sticking with just pop for his new record predominantly, "Super Power" was written by the 24 year-old himself and is one of his less dirty singles as Elyar has been known in the past to write a lot about his sex life, however his seems to be more sutle now with this new album, the new single was produced by Diplo marking the first time the producer and Elyar had worked together on a track, "Super Power" will be released to all major streaming services and download outlets on January, 17th 2017. Elyar teasee the track on SoundCloud a few weeks ago now and the response to the track has been positive thus far.
The reasoning behind his disappearance has been acknowledged numerous times as in early 2016 Elyar became a father and has spent the last year being a father to his son, he also gave his girlfriend Lexi Marie Taylor her time to release her own music to the world and she achieved two huge hits last year, however the 24 year-old never stays out of the media partly due to his family and the 6 year age difference between himself and Lexi, but the star has claimed numerous times that 2017 would see the star return to music and it seems that's true hence this single and hopefully more will follow the rest of the year and his second album will be released in 2017 as well,which will be the follow up to his debut algum "Elyar" which was released all the way back in 2014 meaning his second album will be his first in almost 3 years. The question remains weather Elyar's new music will be successful or not as his fans have been waiting a long time for new music and his name alone thanks to his older brother Adam is tarnished and his labelled in the same way as his brother which has somewhat alway effected his career despite the fact he and Adam are totally different people, but only time will tell if Elyar can achieve something in music again with his new music and "Super Power" seems like it could be a big step in the right direction for the 24 yead-old.
"Super Power" wad lauded by music critics. Brennan Carley of Spin called it "pop perfection", "a thoroughly definitive, all-in jam" and predicted the song could reach high levels of airplay and ubiquity." Time's Esther Zuckerman deemed the song a "New Favorite Contender for Song of the 2017" and wrote that the chorus was "infectious". Jason Lipshutz of Billboard named it one of the "10 Best Songs of 2017 (So Far)".
Consequence of Sound compared the sound of the song to Michael Jackson. Complex wrote: "The song has a classic pop feel to it, with Elyar channeling a bit of Kato while crooning over the bouncy, and energetic production from Diplo." Pitchfork's reviewer Renato Pagnani placed it in the Best New Track category and made the same comparison: "Perhaps recognizing just how dead-on it could be a Kato record", the producers anchor the track with a bassline that could have come from an alternate-dimension.
Billboard also picked "Super Power" as the best song of 2017 thus far. "Elyar's irresistible, Kato-esque "Super Power" is so perfectly crafted that it's impossible to imagine a world or alternative reality in which this song isn't number one. There are enough hooks in this one single for a dozen chart-toppers, but Elyar Black has managed to packed them all into three-and-a-half minutes of sheer ecstasy.
