The British singer songwriter’s roots lie firmly in the east-end of London - something which is reflected in her frank lyrics and gritty melodies, but as much of the young songstresses time is spent between here and her new home in Los Angeles the album takes on definite nuances from both places.
Ellem’s Brit/Cali sound is an addictive melting pot of contrasts. Her raw and honest vocal on the stripped down acoustic song Shadow has a delicate haunting quality, mix that with the dirty blues rock but intriguingly poppy east-end tone of By Heart and the quirky title track Inside Still Beats you have a whimsical yet heart-on-sleeve truthful collection of songs which is deliciously more-ish.
Inside Still Beats, Ellem’s rather impressive solo debut is indeed a strong collection of heartfelt mini-musical-stories packed with intrigue, heartbreak and light-relief. With lyrics like “if I show you my cracks will you be my glue” and “I don’t know how the words go, but if this is my song then life is my show.” Ellem has an infectious way of reaching into hearts and staying there!

Put A Ribbon Round It - A warming and festive collection of quirky folk-pop songs. Another masterfully crafted collection from the British / Los Angeles songstress. 'Put A Ribbon Round It' will whisk you away on a melodic narrative that your mind can't help but engage in.

Ellem’s second full length album A Little Reminder (released July 2011) covers a good ol’ swath of modern-folk with ever so subtle and beautifully infused nuances of a Celtic influenced childhood. The title track 'A Little Reminder' sees an expected tip of the hat to what Ellem is known and loved for – an unashamed and quirky-pop approach to songwriting. Mix this with the lighthearted and playful lyrics of opening number 'Tape and Glue' which strip grown up problems back to their often childish roots and the achingly evocative, venerable yet self-assured vocal of Sit Down Sister and you have a masterful collection of wonderfully crafted songs.
