Elin Engdahl – “Bound for Glory” (Feat. Elitronic)

Swedish singer-songwriter Elin Engdahl returns with a powerful reimagining of “Din tid kommer”, the beloved anthem by Håkan Hellström, now translated and transformed into the emotionally sweeping “Bound for Glory.” Teaming up with rising producer Elitronic (Elias Lunde), Engdahl delivers a universal message of hope, resilience, and generational strength that transcends language and borders.

With lyrics that reach across lifelines, “Bound for Glory” paints the portrait of a daughter raised without her father, guided by a mother whose words echo like prophecy: “Be all that I could never be.” The song’s chorus is a balm of reassurance — both a mother’s promise and an artist’s call to her audience — reminding us that no matter the struggle, we each hold a place in the sun. Elin’s voice, at once tender and soaring, makes that promise feel personal.

Engdahl first entered the music scene with her 2018 EP “Embers”, exploring themes of love and self-reflection while living in Switzerland. After a brief hiatus, 2024 marks her return — and rebirth — with new releases in both Swedish and English, expanding her sonic reach while staying rooted in raw emotion. Her 2024 single “Vi kan bara undra (We Can Only Wonder)” hinted at a new chapter. With “Bound for Glory,” she delivers on that promise.

Adding depth to the track is Elitronic, the 17-year-old production prodigy already making international waves. With his fingerprints on tracks played across five continents, Elitronic brings cinematic flair and understated strength to the arrangement. Together, their collaboration breathes new life into a Swedish classic, offering it up to a global audience in a new light.

Already spinning on FM and digital radio in Australia, Belgium, England, Mexico, Uganda, and the U.S., “Bound for Glory” is more than a cover — it’s a story retold, a message reborn, and a moment that signals both artists are bound for something bigger.
