“I should have listened to my gut feeling…”

At the moment, life is really an up and down. Unpredictable like approaching waves that rebel and break with all their power in all directions only to sink back into the sea. It is all the more important not to lose one’s inner compass and to trust one’s gut feeling in between all those turbulences. This is also the main theme of the new song “Gut Feeling” of the twin sisters from Norway, Maren and Charlotte alias The Ella Sisters who with their incredible naturalness dare to deal with topics like identity, mental health, being underestimated and finding confidence in yourself and transform everything into magical music.

The sisters explain: “Ever since we started our music journey, there has been something about pop songs that have triggered our inspiration and songwriting. This chapter has been so chaotic and exciting at the same time, because we got to experiment with such different ideas, and work in way more brutal soundscapes than we had done before. Going into our twenties, we have felt like it is truly just a teenage level two. The feeling of having no idea where you are or where you are going, trying to connect the dots and bravely failing at it.”

They continue: “This chapter has been inspired by retro, romantic, and reckless pop songs, and we have dived into the process trying to find our own voice in it all. We hope you can dance, and cry, and laugh, and feel. In the wild spectrum of colours that life can bring, it can be so messy and so beautiful. This record has taught us the importance of living at your own pace, and listening to the alarms when they start ringing. After all, there is a reason whenever your gut feeling is trying to tell you something.”
