Eylsia Nicolas serves up something achingly real and personal with her latest gospel single, "How Many Times 2." This drop is a passionate testimony coming from resilience, unabashed faith, and unshakable love for music. Eylsia's story is unlike most. A former professional tennis player herself, her life suddenly changed when she had an injury that bade her farewell to the sport she had devoted her life to.
However, amid the loss, she reunited with her first love, which is music. Writing songs and singing them stopped being a side order and became a lifeline. That rediscovery, though, was not without its own challenges. After receiving a COVID-19 shot, she started bleeding whenever she sang, almost losing her voice altogether. For many people, that would have been it, but to Eylsia, it was yet another reason to struggle to win her gift.
The power of "How Many Times 2" lies not just in its Gospel underpinnings, but also in the openness woven throughout it in every note. The track has a spiritual heft, as if each word is scoured from her own life of pain, perseverance, and, ultimately, triumph. Gospel music has always been about healing and hope, and Eylsia is true to that spirit.
In addition to her art, Eylsia has a fascinating double life as the creator of worldipi.com, an innovative R&D company involved in sound restoration and advanced technology, among which about 10–15% is in the sphere of artificial intelligence. And that pedagogical venture gives her a fresh perspective on music, on sound, and on how technology can serve the human spirit. It's keeping her busy, and the palpable reach continues, and it's no wonder her creations feel multilayered emotionally.
For Eylsia, "How Many Times 2" is more than a song to add to her growing portfolio. One of her favorites, personally, and a reminder that even in the most challenging moments of our lives, faith can never be silenced. She is the first to say her music can't be pigeonholed easily, but that's the way it is. Her music defies borders, and these are songs for all people, wherever they are, whatever they're doing, no matter which politics they follow. Through "How Many Times 2," Eylsia Nicolas is allowing you to not only hear her music but to walk in her journey, a journey that has revealed that passion anchored in faith is strong enough to conquer even the most brutal battles.
