Ellis has unveiled a new single, ‘it’ll be alright’, lifted from her upcoming LP no place that feels like. It follows previous cuts ‘what i know now’ and ‘obliterate me’. Check it out via the accompanying video below.
“when i was writing ‘it’ll be alright’ i was thinking about all the parts of myself i have killed to appease other people,” Ellis explained in a statement. “i think i’ve learned that maybe some of those parts are better off dead, but other parts i will grieve the loss of forever. i dwell on the way i am perceived through someone else’s eyes (which can be a blessing or a curse depending on who’s eyes i’m looking through), and it can be very scary and disorienting when i’m forced to hold a mirror up and realise i don’t recognise myself in it. i’ve struggled with being overly critical of all of my past selves for the decisions that i’ve made, but i am slowly learning to look back at all of those selves with compassion and acknowledge the girl who was just trying her best.”
no place that feels like will be released on April 26.
