Ekelle Returns With Her Latest Single/Video "Be Free", Featuring Maia Davies of Ladies of the Canyon

Talented Toronto based Hood Pop artist, Ekelle, returns to DCWS with her brand new single/video “Be Free”, featuring Maia Davies of Ladies of the Canyon.

Speaking about her new release, Ekelle says:

“This song is about radical self-acceptance.

“Be Free”… is for anyone who has gone on the quest to find themselves. Taken from my debut LP, Let’s Get It, which in summary is about owning who you are—embrace that bad bitch!

You will relate to “Be Free” if you march to the beat of your own drum. You may have found happiness, but the new haters and the naysayers of your past just can’t seem to accept that.

Co-writer Maia and I were talking about the kinds of music we like as B. Morales, who produced most of the album, along with Gee Wunder and Maizy F, was making a beat in the background. Before we knew it we had something with a Disco vibe on our hands to complement my self-created genre of Hood Pop. BrownGuyMadeIt shot the video with a 70’s aesthetic and really matched the vibe!

The songs on Let’s Get It are flirtatious, or provide social commentary, and some are just about bigging yourself up and having a good time. I hope listeners feel like they can conquer anything after hearing this project.

The “Be Free” song itself is fire, and we guarantee that you will love the accompanying music video, so watch it below, stream it on your preferred music service and connect with Ekelle on her social media.
