Multi-talented Eora/Sydney based artist Ella Haber has just dropped her breathtaking new single “My Father.” This is the lead single for Ella’s EP Moments Between Dreams, to be released on February 16. It sets the tone, as one of six songs conceptualised and written entirely on bedroom pianos that explore the theme of familial love.
“I needed to release myself from my own numbness, isolation, inactivity and loneliness induced by successive lockdowns, a long-term relationship coming to a close and a disconnection from my own body and heart. As soon as lockdown ended, I found new love, threw myself into activism and connected deeply with new friends for the first time in years. I felt a profound hope for the future, and I felt a restlessness to dive into the next chapter of my life with all senses open and alive with feeling,” Ella recalled. Of the EP, she says “It represents a maturation in songwriting and production for me as an artist. I feel the scope of my songwriting has expanded significantly on this record, much past the confines of Clay. The record draws from folk, indie, pop and rock but still to me is founded in the bedrock of soul and jazz.“
While the EP will have a digital release, it’s always much better to have something to hold. Ella will release her EP on standard vinyl and a limited-edition clear vinyl. Both are available to preorder now.
