Ella Hayes sold soul-pop sanctuary in her debut single, Recovery

Posted on 18 September 2022

Essex soul-pop singer-songwriter Ella Hayes paraded her vanquished skeletons and shared her growing pains in her debut EP, Colour Me In, which follows her through her journey of addiction, awakening and expressive creativity.

The standout single, Recovery, was a means of catharsis for the artist, which she extended to the airwaves as a powerfully inspiring affirmation that addiction doesn’t have to be a life sentence. The pop-rock orchestral layers set the perfect tone for her candour, which leaves few stones unturned around the epiphanous lyrics, which resolvingly prove that sanctuary is always in reach, despite how low your rock bottom feels.

“All my life I’ve been terrorised by the lies my head tells me” is one hell of an opening lyric; one that sets the bar she continually transcends throughout Recovery.

Recovery is now available to stream on Spotify

Made Me Feel Bad: Melbourne rapper Cassiel bypasses the bad times on the road to ‘Recovery’

Posted on 25 July 2021

Entertaining us on a deep track which is his fourth single after ‘Can’t Move On‘, ‘Shots‘ and ‘Stand Off‘ from 2021, the prolific Cassiel roams freely on his new single which is all about hoping they feel bad after tossing you out for a new man on ‘Recovery‘.

Cassiel is a youthfully mysterious Melbourne, Australia-based indie rapper. He has a flow that sparks up the room like glowing incense, as he takes us with on his exciting journey through this weird and wonderful world.

As he performs with so much freedom and gusto, you sense that you are listening to someone with a really special talent. Each word is so clearly heard – his story interweaves with what you know and believe – as this catchy beat takes you down that reflective memory hidden away behind a locked door for safe-keeping, when you think of the one who got away.

‘Recovery‘ from the emerging Australian hip-hop artist Cassiel, shows us a young man who has been let down badly by the love of his life. They have moved on so quickly like nothing happened before, as he is left to pick up the pieces of his badly broken heart. This is the road to replenishing that disappointed soul which wanted so much more – as you are left looking into the mirror of the past – even though you know you have to move in.

The path to feeling like yourself again after being left in the dirt like a discarded tissue, is a long road but you will find yourself again, only when the time is right.
