Ella Eyre and Clean Bandit

Today I have some music for you by Ella Eyre. This is a girl who is not well known but should be because she has so much talent. Ella Eyre not only creates her own incredible songs, but is one of the best collaborators I have heard. She has worked with groups ranging in style from Bastille to Rudimental. Honestly I think that is extremely impressive. Something about the way Ella Eyre works and the way she sings is so fierce. Not the stereotypical Beyonce fierce, but something that is truly strong and bold. Ella Eyre has a sound that is really different from a lot of what we hear nowadays. This song is pretty percussion heavy, but I like that a lot. There is a mix of percussion, from drums to tambourines, to piano melodies. I think the part of the song that first made me fall in love with it, is during the first chorus. The first part of the first chorus is her singing with the piano and some drum beats, but then gives way to the next verse of the chorus where so many things get thrown in. There is this wonderful synth filler that harmonizes so incredibly well, and of course the brass blaring is so perfect. Now, this song is hard to dance to, but it is still rhythmically pleasing. It switches from slower rhythms to something dancey, back to slow. But then it crescendos and crashes into this wave of energy. It's the kind of energy and excitement that you feel the need to sing the lyrics loudly to the sky and just scream and sing your heart out. Ella Eyre has a voice that is sweet and raspy and soulful all at the same time. She is a vocal powerhouse that shouldn't be messed with. It is that kind of voices that meshes very well with this song, a mix of pop and retro and drum and bass. Just like her music, Ella Eyre has a voice that is so many things at once. It is a cry of power, it is soothing, and it is raw energy. Her vocals are vulnerable but strong, sweet and husky, delicate and powerful. It is so hard to find that in a vocalist and even harder to find that maturity in a vocalist who is only 20. I hope great things happen for Ella Eyre and I honestly believe she has an incredible future. Today's instrumental song is by another really great artist called Clean Bandit. This song is pretty popular and for good reason. Not only was the vocalist amazing, but Clean Bandit themselves are just so freaking great at what they do. This is very funky and disco ish but something that is uniquely British. I know that sounds weird but there are some songs that just have that specific British sound. No one else can copy it and both songs have that sound. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
