Looking through my list of things to share to the blog this morning, there’s really nothing more timely to share than the brand new track from Ella Grace. She Looked Like Me is the last single to be released ahead of Ella’s debut album Reverence, which is due for release on her own label ONEONEONE on 19th April, and it’s no accident that this track is releasing on International Women’s Day.
Newly launched, the label is an exciting addition to years of work that Ella has put into creating a community of hundreds-of-thousands of women both on and offline through podcasts, courses and retreats; space spaces for exploration, expression, growth and conversation. Her hard work was recently recognised via a grant from the Shawn Mendes Foundation, which she is using to launch the label – through which she is continuing to create an accessible, welcoming and diverse space for artists. Watch this space, I reckon!
Ella Grace ยท She Looked Like Me
On the new track, she shares: “She Looked Like Me is about how I see myself in the women around me. Even if it’s just a woman I see on the tube who looks tired and done with her day, working a 9-5 and trying to keep up with the beauty standards of the 21st century I see the power she has beneath the surface and I wish for her to discover it one day. I wish for all women to be able to recognise and reconnect with their unique power and essence because outside of this Patriarchal society there is so so much more to us.”
