Every genre has its strengths, but indie—with its warm guitars and introspective lyrics—is hard to imagine the world without.
It’s the perfect space for UK artist Ellie Evans to get real, get vulnerable, and lean into a rock-pop direction.
Her latest release, “21,” beautifully captures the coming-of-age experience in a blissful three minutes and 25 seconds.
The track starts with a kick—gritty guitars and raw vocals that immediately grab your attention.
But it’s Evans’ storytelling, top-line melody, and vocal delivery that steal the spotlight, building on the guitar-driven foundation with lyrics that feel both personal and universal.
With lines like “Thought the world would end…but we’re still here and we’re still young,” she captures the short-sightedness of youth and the realization that we still have time to figure things out.
In its final minute, distorted guitars crash into soaring vocal melodies, psychedelic textures whirl, and the song fully explodes—leaving you dazed in the best way.
It’s an A-class effort from Ellie Evans, proving she has so much more to offer the world with her artistry.
