Mary Elle is a singer/songwriter based in the Czech Republic. Originally from Oklahoma, USA, Mary Elle first came into the music scene after a video of her singing at a school music festival was discovered online by musician and producer Gregory Darling. Sparking the beginning of a musical collaboration, Darling helped guide Mary Elle and at just 14 years old, they co-wrote her first single, “Movie Ticket.”
A few years later and after some refining, “Movie Ticket” is now being unveiled. The emotion-fuelled track narrates a sudden yet anticipated break-up. Portraying a message of growing from grief and finding yourself even in the hardest of times, “Movie Ticket” emits a light-hearted, empowering and freeing sound. Mary Elle explains, “It relates to the narrative and how even though letting that person go was painful, it was needed in order for her to find a sense of freedom and find out that she’s the main character of her own story, not someone else’s.”
“Movie Ticket” showcases a delicate piano melody that floats gently alongside Mary Elle’s soft, soulful vocals. With a love for storytelling lyrics, every word captivates you, while twinkling synths and ethereal backing vocals cascade, resulting in an all-encompassing release.
“Movie Ticket” is the second single to be released from an upcoming EP due later this year.
