Ellis King
It’s the sweetly lilting vocals that first draw your attention to Ellis King. Next you are struck by her beautiful candid lyrics and assured musicianship. It’s a combination that makes King’s debut EP Better Luck a powerful opening statement.
An emerging singer-songwriter, redolent of fellow confessional pop artists such as Gracie Abrams, Lizzy McAlpine and Maisie Peters, King is poised to be a breakthrough of 2025. Better Luck captures a restless spirit. King herself divides her time between two
continents, calling both Melbourne and London home. Both cities are renown for nurturing vibrant music communities, their storied songbooks now added to by King. Producer Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Cassandra Jenkins, Idris Elba) allows King’s voice a clarity amidst the delicate arrangements. The vocals are unwavering and the musicality is at times breathtaking.
Together, with Matt Wiggins (Hinds, Glass Animals, Adele) at the mixing desk, King and her team have captured her sound brilliantly. King is not your typical artist, in that her aspirations are not fixed on a dream of
stadium shows or million-dollar record deals. Instead, she’s determined to hone her craft, to release a debut album that tells a story “from start to finish”. Better Luck is a welcome first chapter.
