Bringing punchy pop sounds to her alternative, classically trained and musical theatre foundations, Indira Ellis crafts a unique direction for her sound. After moving to New York City, she embarked on a self-reflective journey, making music to document the progress of her emotions.
With her latest track ‘i don’t miss you’, Indira brings a synth pulse like never before, the first moment echoes nostalgia, but it soon settles into a modern fusion of electronic melodies and sultry vocal performances. Indira uses her alt-pop sensibilities to light up the dance floor, streaks of lightning shatter the emotions, whilst an array of synth layers push and pull the listener in all directions.
The vocals are heartfelt and pained, but find solace in overcoming the heartbreak, coming out a new person, drenched in effortless confidence and without an ounce of regret. Huge sound design rains down on the melodies, but they are unphased, embracing the momentousness and shooting it back out at the dancefloor.
Indira explains, “I wrote the song as a successor to my last song ‘Obvious’ It’s about the time after a breakup stops hurting – when the fallout settles and you realize you may be better off without them. It’s easy to miss the good parts of a relationship, but it’s important to not let those overshadow the reason why you were incompatible in the first place. Especially if they come crawling back.”
