Despite how much it changed her worldview, Elsa’s distaste for order reared its head again at the end of those three years when she dropped out of college. It’s not a regrettable decision. Soon after, she recorded her first studio album, Rey, released in 2015 through Stereo Global. Then in 2019, freshly living in Mexico City, she released Eres Diamante, which earned Elsa y Elmar a Latin Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. In 2022, Elsa y Elmar’s album, ya no somos los mismos, received three Latin Grammy nominations: Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Pop/Rock Song. Though she has historically struggled to fit into a genre, Elsa describes her music as “spiritual pop.”
