Ellur

With an all-round infectious sound design ranging between indie, pop and songwriter charm, Ellur has become a musical phenomenon in the UK in a heartbeat. The Halifax-based artist writes her own personal coming-of-age soundtrack taken straight from the soul and reaches an audience that has almost exploded across generations in the last few years. Whether it's the wistfully romantic ‘Moments’ (2021), the driving heartbreak anthem ‘Close To You’ (2022) or the superbly embellished raised middle finger to the state of the world in ‘God Help Me Now’ (2024), Ellur writes songs of compelling originality that convey a great deal of sensitivity to genuine emotional issues and an attitude of empowerment. Hardly surprising that she feels equally as inspired by icons such as Madonna and Kate Bush as she does by Lana Del Ray or Blossoms. And no wonder at all that she's being praised to the rafters by the British music press.
