Soulful Brisbane songstress The Letter Elle has released her latest groove, a self-produced track called “Sunrise.” Listening to this track is the perfect act of self-care in this chaotic world. It’s cool and laidback, with elements of R&B and jazz hitting all the right notes.
“Sunrise is, at first glance, a love song about enjoying just being in the moment and not putting pressure on what it ‘should be’ or where the future is going,” Elle explained. “I think that subconsciously I wrote this song to myself about where I am currently at in my life. At the end of last year, I graduated uni and had an injury that prevented me from singing at all for months. It reminded me of my love for just doing things purely for the enjoyment. I hope that in this scary and uncertain time, this song can help people to remember they just need to take a step back and enjoy life for what it is. There’s no need for a big, complicated plan and we have to just take life day by day.”
The clip reminds us of some of the beauty that is still around us. Elle shot the video on the beaches of Coolum, a location that holds a special place in her heart.
“Coolum is where I became who I am and where I truly feel at home. I thought it only fitting to shoot this style of video somewhere that means so much to me.”
The Letter Elle is a finalist in this year’s QUBE Effect competition, run by Brisbane City Council. You can cast your vote for her here until 5 pm on June 12.
