Fans of Gracie Abrams, Lizzy McAlpine, and Maisie Peters get ready because Ellis King is the next confessional pop artist that you need to check out. Her debut single "Better Luck" just released on Aug 2, 2024. Self-written and produced by Steph Marciano, the candid track provides a snapshot into King’s romantic life. She addresses a former love, wishing them “better luck next time” as she realizes that she is ready to move on from it. Sometimes, people mess up, and we just can’t move past it with them; we have to move past it without them. Make sure to add “Better Luck” to your streaming library!
“Better Luck” is a sparkling synth-filled track about cutting off someone that did you wrong. As the track progresses, King sings about how she was naive in a relationship with someone that wronged her. She considers that had she been older, she would not have been with people that would treat her that way. Growing up is a universal experience, and we all have some trials and tribulations as we discover the kind of people we want to be. Here, King addresses the subject of the song with the punchy refrain, “Better luck next time / Better luck in another life.” The upbeat production and bright vocals make this track the perfect backdrop for dancing around your room.
Tasmanian-born singer-songwriter Ellis King is just getting started in this industry. “Better Luck” is her first ever single, and she has much planned for the future, cementing herself as an artist to watch out for in the next year. Her musical aspirations are not sell out stadium tours or millions of dollars, but to craft a body of work that tells a complete story. Whenever her debut album drops, "Better Luck" is indication that it will be masterful.
