Alternative pop newcomer Ellise is fighting to be heard on "Feeling Something Bad..."
On Ellise's latest alt-pop concoction the rising pop star gets gothic as "Feeling Something Bad..." transforms a crush into an obsession.
An expert at catastrophising everyday experiences, the LA-based artist has arrived fully formed with not only a consistent and cohesive sound but a striking visual identity too. That's even more clear when you press play on the accompanying video for her latest infectiously catchy track.
With the clip directed by Joakim Carlsson we get to see Ellise in her absolute element as she brings "Feeling Something Bad..." to life in a macabre world of its own. “I just love dramatising little everyday feelings in life, so this is my big dramatic ‘I have a crush on you’ song,” Ellise explains – it's a song she wrote about a boy she barely knew.
While Ellise already has a trail of scintillating pop scorchers in her catalogue, "Feeling Something Bad..." is the second to be lifted from her forthcoming debut album set for release later in the year. This song was pretty key in that process too. “The day I made it, I felt like I had a breakthrough with how I make music," she says, "it was so different from anything I had made before, and it really pushed me to keep challenging myself throughout the making of the rest of my album.”
Inspired by Halloween and saccharine Y2K aesthetics alike, Ellise's clash of light and dark is exciting and has already seen her share the small screen with Drag Race superstar Shea Coulée for her video for "Bubblegum Brain".
