Ellie Lawson is a London based acoustic folk singer, songwriter and recording artist with much experience in the USA and Holland. Her two albums have been released independently on her own label Create Your Own Reality.

 

She’s reminiscent of Suzanne Vega and Regina Spektor with a powerful, exciting and original voice that demonstrates considerable talent.

 

Her Lost Without You 5 track EP is released on 15th November, 2011. Its beautiful celtic style title song is reflective and bright in a strong but gentle way. Change The Way has a country Americana style with some whistling. The sadder feel of Friends is more latin folk while How Hard We Try is trip hop. Ba Ba Da takes you off again in a different direction which is more playful.

 

She’s an intriguing breath of fresh air. With distinctive music that’s this good, we can optimistically look forward to her third album.
