LISTEN TO ‘SILVER SPOON’ HERE
Rising Swedish pop star Ellen Krauss shares her latest single ‘SILVER SPOON’ on April 3rd through Tiller Inc. licensed to BMG Recorded Music.
‘Silver Spoon’ is an acoustic guitar lead track that showcases Ellen’s delicate and stunning vocals and her ability to deliver a stadium sized chorus. Filled with beautifully orchestrated strings and stirring, left-field production, it’s another incredible example of Ellen’s innate ability to convey real emotion and relatable stories through her music.
Speaking about the song, Ellen says: "’Silver Spoon’ is about two people, very different from each other, who choose to hold on. They’re not the perfect match, but they feel it’s better to be unhappy together than alone. It’s love after all.”
The track comes after Ellen released her debut EP, ‘First Take’, last November, which has already amassed over 10 million streams. The EP release followed a run of singles, including ‘Let Me Have it’, ‘Criminal To Love’, ‘On The Bus’ and ‘The One I Love’, which picked up acclaim from tastemakers like CLASH, Indie Shuffle, 1883 Magazine, Fault Magazine, When The Horn Blows, London In Stereo, Variance Magazine and many more. Last year, Ellen also made her TV debut on Sweden’s SVT, and recently wrapped up a tour with Miriam Bryant, playing 16 shows across Sweden (800 - 6500 capacity venues).
At just 19 years old, Ellen Krauss has already received praise from some of the world’s biggest musical icons, such as super producer Max Martin and pop star Carly Rae Jepsen, and been awarded the Rookie Artist of the Year at the Denniz Pop Awards in Sweden, as voted for by a panel including pop sensations Tove Lo and Laleh. Her debut single and LGBTQ acceptance anthem, ‘The One I Love,’ has racked up over 7 million total global streams since its release last year, and was added to over 1,500 playlists, including Spotify’s New Music Friday (Sweden).
Entirely self-taught, Ellen has been flexing her musical skills since the age of four, and she spent most of her youth writing songs in her bedroom in Stockholm, or in South Africa where her family occasionally lived. Inspired by a diverse group of artists such as Ed Sheeran, King Princess, Dire Straits and Bruce Springsteen, her music is also imbued with the rebellious spirit of youth. She is outspoken about LGBTQ equality, women’s rights, and pushes back against the traditional social structures that a young girl should fit into. It all manifests in her charismatic, playful and thoughtful songwriting. “I want to look at what makes us similar,” Ellen says about her music, “and try and bring people together.”
