LyricalOdyssey Music October 28, 2025

On her new single, "Winners and Losers," soulful singer-songwriter Eylsia Nicolas taps into the latter with an achingly sincere reminiscence that simultaneously feels exquisitely personal yet universally connective. She's got a voice that telegraphs sincerity from the opening note, and Nicolas turns her journey from the tennis court to the recording studio into a moving meditation on tenacity and self-worth.

With its poetic openness underscored by muted muscularity, it is authentic from the opening verse. You sense the emotional weight of someone who has encountered setbacks, fought through pain, and found clarity along the way. It's a tale of rebirth after struggle.

Inspired by her own experience as a professional tennis player whose career was cut short by injury, Nicolas uses "Winners and Losers" to remind us that life is about getting back out there, trying again, and staying true to who you are. The song captures the essence of anyone who has risked going after a dream, fallen down, and gotten back up stronger. "Winners and Losers" is also refreshingly personal, suggesting that openness can be powerful and that every ending is the beginning of something else. With this release, Eylsia Nicolas shares her heart, helping you find your own strength in the echoes of her story.
