The track is from the emerging artist’s upcoming 2025 EP
Sometimes in relationships we can find ourselves in these delusional states, when we will stay with somebody that we know isn’t as interested in we are but convince ourselves that it will be fine, or that something might change, dragging it out and inevitably getting hurt when everything comes to the surface.
That’s the situation and feeling that is explored on Ellis King single ‘1996’, a track that was written when the artist was living in London and knowing they had to return to Australia soon, providing the possibility that they see that person again when she gets back. The nuanced and soft feel of the sound gives it a really authentic and alluring feel that conveys these emotions effortlessly, melding the confessional lyrics with a fun and intricate soundscape that makes for captivating listening.
