Brighton-based artist Static Ella is back with her second single, "On My Mind," which dives deep into the familiar feelings of anxiety that many of us experience. Working from her attic studio, she has crafted a sound that feels both personal and striking.
"On My Mind" pulls you into a soundscape filled with electronic sounds that create a sense of emotional tension. Rather than just singing about anxiety, Static Ella brings those feelings to life through her music. The layers of synths and a unique rhythm evoke the experience of overthinking, while her soft and honest vocals break through with genuine emotion. There's a sense of closeness in the music, almost like the walls are closing in, yet it draws you in even more. Ella transforms her production into a story, with each effect and note contributing to the feeling she's expressing. It's like listening to a personal diary entry in the middle of the night when you can't seem to sleep. Her voice is gentle yet firm, anchoring the piece and delivering lyrics that resonate without needing to shout. There's a warmth in her openness that quietly demands your attention.
If her first single hinted at her talent, "On My Mind" clearly shows that Static Ella is carving out her own space in music. She proves that just because something is independently made, it doesn't mean it has to be simple or of low quality. With each self-produced single, she's creating a unique musical world, and we're excited to go on this journey with her.
