Hello friends :)
Ellie here.
For awhile now, I have been craving a way to connect with all of you in a more personal & real way. With most of our current communication being through scattered Instagram posts or 15 second TikTok videos, I am hoping that starting this blog page can open up a space for us to get to know each other in a more authentically.
As most of you know, I recently released "Julianne", the first single from my first album ever. Making "Julianne" was so healing for me for so many reasons (which I'm sure we'll get into at a later time), & I am SO beyond grateful for the love & support I've gotten post release. Sharing this music is exciting & fun, but also terrifying & sometimes makes me wanna crawl under a rock, so knowing that this song is something that even just one person needed, makes all those scary feelings a little bit smaller.
I have been working on the entire album with my friend & producer, Charlie. He & I just finished all the major production stuff for the project. The process is beautiful & stressful & wonderful & hard. My emotions have been all over the place & change maybe 6 times a day. All in all, I feel very proud of what we have created.
Life in general is a roller coaster right now. I am graduating from Berklee College of Music an entire year early, & am planning to move to Los Angeles come June, so I'm trying to soak up every ounce of Boston while I am here. This isn't as easy as I would like it to be; Boston & I have had our ups & downs too. In the most recent times I have felt overwhelmed with music, the social media that comes with it, or the all but conventional school I will soon earn my degree from, I try my best to immerse myself in "normal" things. This means that last week I couldn't have been more excited to sit & do my laundry.
- I've been listening to Reputation, songs for my Great American Songbook ensemble, & Goodbye Earl
Failure is the information you need to get where you're going
I think for now we can leave it at that.
