Adele, Leona Lewis同門師妹，90后英倫小妮子 埃拉·艾爾(Ella Eyre) 于2014年摘得BBC年度新聲亞軍。其聲線嘶啞附帶著毛刺，但不失酣暢淋漓的大氣之感，其創作的作品不僅具有著濃烈的英倫味道，更滲入了牙買加雷鬼，黑人靈魂樂等元素。Ella曾與 Rudimental, Naughty Boy等多位大牌合作，在UK金榜上獲得非常不錯的成績。埃拉以其金色碎卷發著名，狂野夸張但不濃妝艷抹造型倍受英國歌迷喜愛。 Despite venturing into songwriting just two years ago, 19 year-old Ella Eyre has already attracted the enthusiastic attention of Professor Green, Disclosure and Rudimental. Initially working with unknown writers in order to sharpen her skills, Ella quickly found herself in Copenhagen with Cutfather (Kylie, Brandy) and Sweden with Ishi and Eric Turner (Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Cheryl Cole). Bold, edgy and occasionally a bit swear-y, with an incredible vocal to boot, Ella’s buzz grew exponentially. She now counts Fraser T. Smith (Adele, Taio Cruz), Claude Kelly (Bruno Mars, Jessie J), Raphael Saadiq (Joss Stone, John Legend) and Chris Loco (Rita Ora, Emeli Sandé) among her producers and co-writers. Signing to Warner/ Chappell in July 2012 and then Virgin/ EMI shortly after, Ella featured on indie buzz band turned chart-topping Bastille’s cover of TLC’s No Scrubs classic, No Angels, which shot straight to the top of the Hypemachine chart. Shortly after, a casual songwriting session with Rudimental evolved into Ella writing two songs for their debut album, and she can be heard on the foursome’s stadium ready new single, Waiting All Night. After doing spot dates as their lead vocalist in 2012, she recently joined them as support for Plan B’s sold out 2013 UK Arena tour, before heading to Australia and the USA for more dates. It’s no wonder Tinie, Naughty Boy and Pro Green are all clamoring to work with the West London singer and writer who possesses the vocal of a woman twice her age. Not only the owner of a singularly, enigmatic, unique incredible voice that conjures up the greats of yesterday, Ella also has great skill as a writer. “I want my music to be ballsy; I can’t think of anything worse than being wishy-washy, insipid. I want everything I do to be powerful and full of energy.”
