ELLA GRACE SHE LOOKED LIKE ME

Timed to coincide with International Women’s Day, Ella Grace’s latest single is a timely and powerful celebration of womanhood. ‘She Looked Like Me’ is a great example of the range alt-pop has these days, flowing from airy refrains into an almost tear-jerking breakdown of a bridge before exploding into the string-accompanied final section. “This track is about how I see myself in the women around me,” she explains. “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.” Keep an eye out for more from Ella Grace this year. -Dan Peeke
