Between 2008 and 2011 ELISA released a series of successful singles and albums and established herself as a high profile and well regarded anison singer. In September 2011 she was ordered to take medical leave, a hiatus that was to last 16 months. At the beginning of 2013 she announced her return to the music scene, publicized by means of a cover-mount single distributed with the January 2013 edition of LisAni magazine. Since her return, ELISA's new material has been released via SME Records.

Her fifteenth single "WISH" is released this week on May 2nd.
