Ayelle
Following a string of exciting releases, Ayelle is starting the new year on a nostalgic note with this chilled electro-r&b number produced by frequent collaborator Alex Lustig. "'Young' is about that part of you that will look back at a relationship through rose tinted glasses and worry that maybe no one will ever love you like that again. This song didn't come from a place of reason, it's pure nostalgia and vulnerability." Swedish-Iranian Ayelle has been songwriting ever since she learned how to write. Growing up in Sweden and Spain, she continued on to pursue music in London, where she has since garnered support from the likes of Majestic Casual, Chill Nation, Trap Nation, Complex UK, Billboard, Indie Shuffle, The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk and Hillydilly. 2017 saw Ayelle reach new heights, with steady Spotify support resulting in a 400,000 monthly listener count and releases on Majestic Casual, Deadbeats and Bitbird. The PRS Women Make Music grantee is known for bittersweet, sultry vocals and emotive lyrics. Drawing inspiration from own life experiences, her writing explores power dynamics within relationships, challenging the status quo, as well as sparking discussion and self reflection. "Ayelle's seductive, yet confrontational approach provides a unique listening" - EARMILK
