Halifax-based indie artist Ellur shares euphoric new effort "The Woman" as her final release of the year.

Arriving as the follow-up to acclaimed recent singles "Free" and "Anywhere", which was co-written with Circa Waves’ Kieran Shudall, "The Woman" further demonstrates Ellur’s growing collection of deeply personal songs

Detailing her final release of the year, Ellur revealed: “Despite being the result of a distressing time for me, I see "The Woman" as a celebration of togetherness, womanhood and support that can get us through difficult times. It’s a song that is very close to my heart. I wrote it after processing a traumatic experience in my late teens that had made me feel frighteningly vulnerable. I then felt claustrophobic and overwhelmed by the fact I couldn’t do anything to ‘fix it’."

"I wrote "The Woman" with no intention of showing it to anyone or releasing it. I wrote it just for me. But after slipping it into a few acoustic performances early this year, I received really inspiring feedback from people in the audience. Women were approaching me to tell me they liked the song with this knowing look and I felt an immediate connection to them. It actually felt pretty devastating that we had these experiences in common," she continues.

"The Woman" is out now via Dance To The Radio.
