Ellie Lawson – Lost Without You
After several years honing her craft in the US and Amsterdam, South London singer/songwriter Ellie Lawson returns home to release her Lost Without You EP on 15th November. Having been courted by rap mogul Russell Simmons, and working with such diverse artists as trance DJs Ferry Corston & Richard Durand on some of the biggest Eurodance hits of 2011, I was pleasantly surprised at just how good this EP is. There is a hint of Regina Specktor in parts, yet it’s not really possible to pigeon hole into any one genre, swtiching from the undoubtedly radio-friendly title track into a slice of country/Americana on ‘Change The Way’. ‘Don’t Wanna Be More Than Just friends’ has a real Latin-meets-folk vibe about it. It’s almost as if, at times, she is not sure what direction her music is going to take. However, there is something distinctive about her and the effortless vocal sits well with me. With another EP planned for early next year with Ian Grimble – of Communion Records fame – I’m sure we will be hearing a lot more from Ellie.
