{"product_id":"thompson-ella-promise-to-keep-change-of-heart","title":"Thompson, Ella - Promise to Keep \/ Change of Heart","description":"For this single,\nElla collaborates with a selection of artists at the forefront of Naarm \/ Melbourne's\nsoulful DIY community. Featuring members of Surprise Chef and Karate Boogaloo,\nLiam McGorry from Temporary Blessings (College Of Knowledge) joins Ella as cowriter\nand co-producer, with go-to Melbourne engineer Henry Jenkins also producing\nand recording the track.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBridging the worlds of classic and contemporary soul, Ella's songwriting is drenched\nin emotion and personal experience. With a timeless feel that is hard to tie to any\nparticular period, she has crafted a sound that instantly hits deep. It's warm, tasteful\nand distinctly Ella. That talent has also seen her tour with Mark Ronson, and support\nother contemporary greats like Jalen Ngonda, Lee Fields, and Thee Sacred Souls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n'Promise to Keep' is the first taste of Ella's new material on this 7\" single. An\nirrepressible upbeat groover that echoes mid- to- late- sixties vocal groups. That\ninfluence though never overpowers Ella's own unique creative voice or distinct sense\nof self. She draws from it, but the colour is all her own. The song tells a story of being\ncarried by the current that keeps us moving, giving us courage. A commitment to\noneself that speaks to action shaped by vision, and the pull of following what feels\ncorrect even when the distance is far.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe flip side finds Ella in a different mood. 'Change of Heart' is a heavy sweet- soul\nballad. Rich in drama, Ella's falsetto vocals build to a stunning climax in the final\nsection, with triumphant horns that signal the release of letting go. The lyrics reflect\non temporality and impermanence, and the way moments can be missed or arrive\nwith synchronicity. It's that bittersweet paradox of triumph and sadness, where\neverything contains its opposite: absence and presence, innocence and experience.\nThe song is underpinned by a brooding production quality and atmospheric, beatheavy\nflavour that Surprise Chef and cinematic soul fans will relish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Wayne\nGordon (Daptone, Womack Sisters), 'Promise to Keep' and 'Change of Heart' are a\nglimpse of things to come from Ella Thompson .
