NEW SINGLE RELEASE – Cosmic Strip ‘Another Day’
21 December 2023
Devastating and satire, Ellies cut-throat lyricism provides a one of a kind listening experience and enticing narrative to her music. ‘Whole Lotta Nothing’ uses humour and wit to perfectly depict the numbness that comes with forcing connections and feeling leftvoid of emotion after being hurt.
Taking big risks- but ultimately pulling of her unique sound seamlessly, the up-and-
coming alt-pop singer combines influences from artists such as Fiona Apple with jazz and
cabaret style, saxophone instrumentals. This mix of nots to old school musical theatre
with witty, anecdotal prose is what gives Bleach’s identity that distinct edge. Despite
taking influence from different genres and eras of music, Ellie’s sound maintains an
originality that is special and rare; making it impossible to look away.
’I felt nothing punching numbers in his phone, nothing, when he asked to take me home.’
Exploring themes of cynicism and loneliness, with frank references to modern dating,
’Whole Lotta Nothing’ is both comedic and painfully relatable. Turning more inward
towards the mid-section of the track, the artist leans into the pressures of society and
self-criticism; ‘Please don’t leave me alone with me. She won’t stop telling me loves
gonna come when you least expect it so don’t leave the house without looking splendid.
Nothing comes to girls who sit and yearn.’
On the new track, the Essex born artist says, ‘I wanted ‘Whole Lotta Nothing’ to sound
like a dive bar at 3 am as if the narrator is singing to an empty room besides the janitor
and barkeep,’ and she’s certainly achieved that. With a brand new EP set to be released
and a tour this spring, Bleach is certainly one to keep your eyes peeled for.
