Ella Clayton’s moving new piano ballad celebrates the intricacies of love and the ways that we communicate it
A word that is often used when describing rising East London singer-songwriter Ella Clayton is “enchanting”, with the artist’s rousing vocals and narratives taking a hold over listeners and commanding their attention in a way that few others can, with her brand new single ‘Come Pass the Time’ just the latest example of the towering power of her sound.
The new release serves as an exploration of the ways that we communicate with the people we love through the subtleties of our actions and gestures rather than with words themselves. The haunting nature of the piano melodies and the typically commanding nature of Ella’s vocals makes for an impactful and resonating listening experience that leaves a mark on you as a listener and is capable of stopping you in your tracks on a number of occasions. The stripped-back feel of the sound ensures that every subtlety and every drop of emotion feels as pronounced and moving as possible, continuing to showcase Ella Clayton’s lasting, showstopping appeal.
“This song is about being in the moment,” Ella shares. “Zadie Smith wrote, ‘Time is how you spend your love,’ and that sentiment shaped ‘Come Pass the Time’. It’s an invitation to be truly present with someone, even when words are no longer enough”.
