Ella Jinks - The In Between'
Singer-songwriter Ella Jinks brings in the announcement of her second EP ‘The In Between’ with the release of it's heartfelt title track.
Following on from her highly-praised debut EP ‘Conversations’ last year, the EP, which is due out in February - features the BBC Introducing-supported 'Maybe In Another Life' and the widely-adored 'This Fall', which was co-written alongside renowned artist Katie Melua, ‘The In Between’ finds the artist in one of her more progressive and admirable guises yet. Showcased by its beautifully endearing title-track that looks to heighten her emotive folk-pop aesthetic to date, Ella Jinks is set to kick off her 2025 with a truly wondrous new delight.
Speaking about the EP, she said, “The In Between“ as an EP, delves into the more uncomfortable parts of self discovery and learning to face those darker aspects of ourselves that we tend to keep hidden. The act of creating and sharing this project in itself has become a form of self-expression for me and a way of reclaiming parts of myself that I might have struggled to accept in the past. The songs became a cathartic release, a way of confronting my shadows and learning not to perceive them as flaws but as valuable parts of my identity”
