Manchester lyricist Ellyse Mason explores self-discovery in introspective EP ‘Wish The World Was Ending’

Maintaining momentum with a string of successful singles, indie-pop lyricist Ellysse Mason has graced supporters with the release of her highly anticipated EP, ‘Wish The World Was Ending’ via Rainbow Wood Studios. Featuring fan-favourites “Cry Baby”, and “Blowing Smoke”, Ellysse has formed a growing audience with her use of candid lyricism and genre-bending sound.

Set across 5 irresistible listens recorded at the Rainbow Wood Studios by Ed Graves, the ‘Wish The World Was Ending’ EP features pre-released singles “Cry Baby”, “Blowing Smoke”, “Where Did You Go?” and “Getting You Down”. Treating listeners to an unreleased single, this body of work uncovers Ellysse’s journey to self-discovery and the grief of a relationship. Giving her listeners a deeper insight to intricacies of the human connection, Mason builds a bridge of relatability through her masterful penmanship. 

Opening the project with “Cry Baby”, a track that highlights the endurance of emotional manipulation and lack of accountability from a previous love interest, Ellysse formed the ultimate break-up anthem whilst facing the harsh reality of a relationship gone sour. Moving into “Getting You Down” which the singer-songwriter describes as “the voice that talks you down and helps keep your composure”, she comes to the realisation that what she once knew is no longer in “Where Did You Go?”. Navigating the silence that becomes more apparent as time goes by, Ellysse teams up with Callum Spencer in “Blowing Smoke” for a spark of enlightenment when they realise they’ve reached a point of no return. Closing out the EP with “Wish The World Was Ending”, the Manchester native is able to find clarity amidst the emotional turmoil. Proving her one-to-watch status, the indie-pop singer-songwriter has created the ultimate heart-break soundtrack that emphasises her lyrical ability.

Hailing from the Northern city of Manchester, Ellysee Mason’s sound embodies  the 90’s and noughties. Anchored with crunchy guitars and production that sits comfortably within indie-pop, the promising artist has written songs for Matt Wills, Rosa, Phoebe Hall, Ines Rae, and more, further emphasising her genius penmanship. Since her debut release back in 2018, Ellysee Mason has gained millions of streams throughout her unrivalled catalogue.
