Exclusive Interview with Elton Lee
Elton Lee is a visionary artist who seeks to tell stories through his music. With “Sentimental Curse,” he ventures into uncharted territories, blending instrumental prowess with narrative depth to create a truly unique listening experience. He took some time out from his busy schedule to answer a few questions for us.
Welcome, Elton. Please tell us about yourself, your music, and how being from Oklahoma City has influenced your music.
I was born in Roswell, New Mexico, and at a young age, I moved to Oklahoma. Growing up, my dad was a big influence on my music taste, introducing me to rock, country, and blues, while my mom taught me how to play guitar. As I got older, my musical influences ranged from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Megadeth; because of this, my music is not set on one genre. I think Oklahoma City has a very diverse and growing music scene, full of energy, that allows new artists to get noticed.
Your latest album is “Sentimental Curse.” Tell us about the project, how the concept came together, and the recording process.
“‘Sentimental Curse’ started as what was supposed to be a three-song EP. As time went on, I really got into instrumentals, then had the idea to tell a story through them, and at that point, three songs were not enough. Without lyrics, there is a freedom to where the listener’s mind can go. I try to use the song titles to guide the listener towards the theme of each song.

What’s your favorite track on the album?
My favorite track on the album is probably ‘Shine’. The way that song came together was special. I also really enjoy Aodhan Mustain’s vocals on that one.
Live or studio, and why?
The album was studio-recorded. I am very lucky to have space at Onyx Studio to write and record music.
What’s next on your schedule? Another album, tour?

Adios Fatso sounds the alarm on artificial intelligence with latest release “Ai Is Taking Your Soul”
Adios Fatso from Boston has a hard-hitting new single called “AI Is Taking Your Soul,” a powerful warning. The release forces listeners to confront the growing impact of artificial intelligence. The song is built on distorted guitars and pounding drums, and its sound matches the urgency of concerns about technology and its place in human life. The song makes the listener think about how much of their life they want to give up to machines.
As AI becomes more involved in creativity and decision-making, are we gradually losing what makes us human? The question is punchy, giving it an edge, and the repeated warning that machines will take over heightens the song’s urgency. With aggressive instrumentation and a thought-provoking theme, the record feels like a call to attention for listeners.
Adios Fatso is a musical blend of social commentary and rock intensity that tackles a subject that still raises difficult questions. Even if it’s convenient, “AI Is Taking Your Soul” makes you think about what we lose when technology takes over too much of the everyday. It’s a confrontational record that leaves its audience with a question worth pondering long after the final note.
