After recently returning with her captivating comeback single ‘Shouldn’t I Just Let You Know?’ earlier this year, her first piece of new material since her breakthrough debut LP ‘Pearl’, which has since earned her more than 47 millions worldwide and earned platinum status, Swedish singer-songwriter Ellen Krauss looks to continue her vibrant ascent with her shimmering new effort ‘Tie Me Down’.
Capturing more of that warm and heartfelt texture she is known for, ‘Tie Me Down’ looks to elevate her sweet and alluring voice with a broad and immersive production. Bringing back another heady dose of sensual imagery and a soaring atmosphere, she threads an emotional web as she yearns for the perfect companion.
Speaking about the new offering, she said, "The song is about not wanting to commit to someone because you’re convinced you’ll find someone even better. But you still stick around just because it’s good and exciting. I wrote this song this fall, I was out and about, dating round and it was great but it was always like ”she’s not you”.
Ellen has since played over 80 live shows since she first emerged, supporting the likes of Laleh, Miriam Bryan, Markus Krunegård as well as her first Swedish headline tour in the Autumn of 2021. She is also planning a return to stage with another run of headline shows in 2023.
Ellen Krauss is a playful and emotional storyteller who challenges the norms of this generation and paints an honest picture of young adulthood through her songwriting and performance. She made her proper debut with the 2019 LGBTQ-anthem ‘The One I Love’, gaining huge attention and support straight out of the gate. Following the release came several singles before the release of her critically-praised debut album ‘Pearl’.
