Eylsia is no stranger to defying limits. From making history as a prodigious tennis talent on international courts to rising as a visionary leader in music and education, her path reflects resilience and reinvention. Now, she returns to the spotlight as a singer-songwriter, weaving her Irish and Filipino roots into heartfelt compositions. After introducing her artistry with “Cats and Dogs” in July, she delivers a stirring follow-up with “On Wings of Angels.”
Released on August 6, “On Wings of Angels” reveals Eylsia leaning fully into her spiritual and country-tinged sensibilities. It’s a song that radiates comfort and uplift, crafted like a prayer wrapped in melody. At its core, it is about transcendence; finding solace in faith, love, and the unseen guardians that carry us through trials.
Eylsia’s voice is the vessel here: warm, clear, and unshakably sincere. She doesn’t just sing the words; she embodies them, as though she’s standing at the edge of hardship and offering her listeners a hand upward. Her phrasing is patient and deliberate, like a storyteller guiding us line by line toward light. Opposite her, there’s a complementary male vocal that enriches the texture. His tone, grounded and soulful, creates the sense of a conversation—two spirits entwined in dialogue, reflecting devotion and unity. When their harmonies blend, the effect is striking: layered, glowing, and deeply human. It’s not just harmony in the musical sense but harmony in spirit.
The production of “On Wings of Angels” embraces a country-spiritual palette with grace. Acoustic guitars weave the framework, their gentle strumming steady and unhurried. Underneath, subtle piano chords and understated percussion keep the song rooted while never overwhelming the intimacy of the vocals. The mix is clean, leaving ample space for the voices to soar. Nothing is overproduced; instead, the instrumentation feels like a gentle river carrying the lyrics forward, each instrument contributing without overshadowing.
What I found intriguing about the song is its simplicity and depth. “On Wings of Angels” doesn’t rely on bombast or grandeur—it builds its strength in authenticity. The duet format allows us to feel both the individual journeys of faith and the shared, collective belief in something greater.
With this release, Eylsia once again proves that her artistry is a mirror of her life: resilient, purposeful, and filled with grace. She has already shown us her ability to craft heartfelt narratives with Cats and Dogs, but here, she reaches higher, lifting not only herself but also her audience. “On Wings of Angels” is a reminder that in life’s turbulence, there is always something steady to hold onto, and sometimes, that strength arrives in the form of music itself.
