Ella Grace – 'I Wonder'
London-based folk singer songwriter Ella Grace captures the tumultuous end of a relationship on new single ‘I Wonder’.
To a delicate backdrop of slow-moving percussion and blues infused guitars, ‘I Wonder’ talks about Ella’s experience trying to salvage a long-distance relationship during a global pandemic. “The person I'd been seeing and planning a future with was in Australia when countries began shutting their borders,” she explains. “It left our dreams crumbling and me feeling out of control, sad and a bit hopeless on the other side of the world. As lockdown progressed the relationship got more and more rocky until the past beautiful relationship was totally unsalvageable and unrecognisable.” She adds: “I guess 'I Wonder' is my expression of floating into that "unknown" void and the intensity that ensued as I was forced into surrendering this person I once loved to time and space and COVID.” From start to finish, ‘I Wonder’ is gorgeously emotive. Ella’s soulful vocals feel silky and smooth as she gives a voice to her pain and act as a soothing balm, mending all fellow broken hearts.
Following previous single ‘Pieces’, ‘I Wonder’ continues to tease a new body of work. With a voice like honey and a knack for creating intimate soundscapes, Ella Grace is ready to take the world by storm.
