Ellis Debuts His Long Awaited "Recollection Prospective" EP
/
Following two previously released singles “Don’t Say Ur Sorry" featuring Maribelle and “Speak Français” featuring NOËP, Ellis shares a combination of tracks that embody his true musical personality in the Recollection Prospective EP, out now!
Each track present on this EP draws from a personal experience and influence of Ellis. With singles, “Caught in the Rays” and “Unfold” featuring Tamzene (the first and last track respectively), Ellis shares a message of loneliness and drawing strength from true friendships.
“”Unfold” & “Caught In The Rays” are the most personal records for me. They both speak about loneliness, a feeling we all have encountered at some point in our lives. “Caught In The Rays” speaks to the few genuine, wholesome people that we’re surrounded by who keep us grounded in our times of struggle. That is something I never take for granted.” - Ellis
With lead single “Brand New Phone” in collaboration with Pasha, Ellis shares a light-hearted, vocal driven tune. This track is bursting with fun and is a great representation of Ellis’s transition from dance music to a pop crossover style.
The Recollection Prospective EP is a product of a big musical transition for Ellis. With this project, Ellis naturally found himself incorporating elements of nostalgia into his composition. His love for EDM shines through in the crisp production and technicality of his songs and is balanced beautifully with the early 2000s rock, funk, hip hop and jazz components.
“I’ve always felt quite restricted when making club music because I'm first and foremost a musician. I love club music, but I found that moving away from the more upbeat music really enabled me to pour my musicality into my productions. I’m heavily inspired by the early 2000’s, especially the musicality from that time period and it naturally seemed to show in the records I was making at the time. That’s when I had the idea to really hone in on implementing modern electronic production techniques with the musicality from the Y2k period. I wanted to ensure that the entire vibe of the EP, including the art, videos and pictures mirrored my vision.” - Ellis
Ellis has poured his heart and soul into the Recollection Prospective EP. Each track was thoughtfully created to share parts of him with fans worldwide. With this launch of this EP, Ellis embarks on a new chapter in his music career and we are excited to hear what the talented artist releases next!
