The track follows the release of ‘Black Balloons’ earlier in the year.
Dark pop sensation Ellise has long been a widely lauded and celebrated artist thanks to her unique blend of catchy melodies and a lot for the erratic and dissonant, and her latest release ‘Did It Hurt?’ is a showcase of exactly how potent and devastating this sound can be.
Marrying lush, affable verses with sonic left-turns and drum-heavy beat drops, the track feels like an articulation of the broad range of emotions and feelings that we experience, seemingly coming out of nowhere and making things feel distorted and weird. The artist is at her creative best on the new release, creating a really sweet piece of pop and then swathing it in her signature darkness and unpredictability to provide it with a real sense of edge.
