Elise Trouw has always blurred the lines between musician, producer, and visual artist. With her new single “All You Need Is Lust”, she steps fully into the surreal and subversive world of her upcoming concept album The Diary of Elon Lust, due February 13th, 2026 via Midtopia. It’s a bold reintroduction, playful, unsettling, and impossible to look away from.

The track serves as the entry point into the album’s universe, told through the eyes of Elon Lust, a fictional twenty-something man whose entitlement and charm disguise something darker. Set to hypnotic grooves and layered vocals, the song flips The Beatles’ familiar mantra into a biting commentary on desire, control, and the commodification of intimacy.

“I started writing these songs as a joke but over time I realized they weren’t completely jokes. And suddenly, they were the only songs that felt real.”

The single arrives alongside a fever-dream music video directed by Trouw herself, featuring cherry-headed dancers and Bosch-inspired imagery that feels at once sensual and grotesque. It’s a striking visual statement, evoking The Garden of Earthly Delights in both chaos and color.

“We wanted it to feel strange and unsettling, somehow sexual, but not sexualized,” she says.”

The Diary of Elon Lust represents a sharp creative turn for Trouw, who first rose to fame with her live-looping videos and multi-instrumental performances, earning millions of views and landing performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and tours with Incubus. While her debut Unraveling showcased precision and musical control, Elon Lust is messy, raw, and human; a confrontation with the urge to please and the price of perfection.
