Hailing from South London, the singer blends a soulful touch with an awareness of underground electronic music.
Hooking up with a series of producers, Sipprell has been searching for that beat, for the right essence to compliment her songwriting.
It seems that she's found it. Debut single 'Curious' is out and it features some deft, down tempo production from Ragz Originale.
Think Andreya Triana's collaborations with Flying Lotus or Bonobo and you'd be close: this is dank yet wonderfully engrossing electronic soul.

Personal
SIPPRELL Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to play, in the warm sun
On holiday, and you held my hand
But you fell like glass on my lap
And I, couldn't fix you
Put you back together again
Could I, I don't think so
I won't take it personal
I won't take it personally

Cause it ain't about me at all
No it ain't about me at all
We used to sing, with your guitar
The melody, rings in my heart
But you fell like glass on my lap
And I, couldn't fix you
Put you back together again
Could I, I don't think so ooh
I won't take it personal
I won't take it personally
Cause it ain't about me at all
No it ain't about me at all
Now I never would've thought that you would leave me
I never would've guessed that you would go
I looked up to you like stars in the evening
When they glow
Now I wonder if you'd even recognize me
You changed me on the day you walked away
And I have to adapt all of my senses
To this cold and empty space
I won't take it personal
I won't take it personally
Cause it ain't about me at all
No it ain't about me at all
I won't take it personal
I won't take it personally
Cause it ain't about me at all, all

No it ain't about me at all
I won't take it personal
