Rising alternative R&B artist Sierra Ellis emerged earlier this year with her debut single ‘April 2nd’ and has begun to establish herself as an artist with a thoughtful and immersive sound that feels intoxicating and memorable, melding effortlessly catchy, laid-back melodies with her thought-provoking, enticing imagery and writing.

The artist has since released her stellar debut EP Higher Place, and a highlight of the release is undoubtedly the track ‘Biggest Critic’, a track that features a range of lush sonic textures and layers thanks to the production of plantcham. The artist’s typically smooth and alluring vocals are on display again here, as she explores her relationship with a particularly negative person in her life looking to bring her down and critique her and takes an empowering, defiant stance on the matter. The track is just the latest to showcase the innate charm and charisma that Sierra Ellis has as an artist, and it will be fun to see what she does next as she continues to expand upon and develop her sound.
