Bryan Adams’s world tour hits Kuala Lumpur

Singer-songwriter Elijah Woods drops I Miss You

FRESH off his headline tour across Asia, breakout pop artiste and multi-platinum singer-songwriter and producer Elijah Woods shares one final preview of his debut album with the release of his new single I Miss You , an emotionally relatable pop track that sticks from the very first listen. His highly anticipated debut album Can We Talk? drops Oct 14. A classic Woods’s love song, I Miss You captures the infectious charm of his earlier viral hits, channelling the same heartfelt energy and emotional immediacy that made 24/7, 365 a breakout favourite. Built around warm acoustic guitar riffs, a soaring, hook-heavy melody and intimate, emotionally honest lyrics, the song showcases Woods’s gift for storytelling that feels familiar and deeply personal. “ I Miss You is about holding on to hope when love feels uncertain – that late-night belief that if we just keep trying, we can find our way back. It’s emotional, but ultimately about faith in connection,” he said. After teasing the song across Instagram and TikTok last month, Woods quickly sparked a flood of anticipation, with fans lighting up the comments and urging for its release. The forthcoming record Can We Talk? marks a major milestone for Woods. After releasing five EPs and a string of viral singles over the past five years, he has carved out a remarkable path as a fully independent artiste – amassing over one billion global streams, building a loyal fanbase of more

than five million followers and touring the world entirely on his own terms. This debut album encapsulates the intimacy, vulnerability and emotional depth that have defined Woods’s songwriting from the start, while confidently leaning into the clever, infectious pop sound that has powered his rapid rise. With Can We Talk? , Woods delivers exactly what fans have come to love: vibey, emotionally resonant tracks that speak straight from and to the heart. Woods just wrapped his second headline tour across Asia, igniting 12 cities on the Give Me The Sunlight! tour – including sold-out shows in Taipei and Hong Kong, a marquee set at The Sounds Project in Jakarta and standout performances at Japan’s iconic Summer Sonic Festival in Osaka and Tokyo. With major stops in Manila, Singapore, Bangkok and more, the tour firmly established Woods as one of the most electrifying and fast-rising pop voices in the region. In 2024, his rising prominence in Asia reached new heights – selling out his first Asia tour in May, opening for Niall Horan in Jakarta and taking the stage at the Seoul Jazz Festival alongside Lauv, Jeremy Zucker and JP Saxe. Beyond the stage, Woods’s charisma and personal style are making waves in fashion. He recently graced the cover of Esquire Singapore and was featured in The Greatest Magazine, VMAN SEA and Nylon Manila – with more on the way.
