Lindsay Ell is embracing a transformative chapter in her life as she prepares to release her new EP, Love Myself. The Calgary-raised artist, known for her vibrant blonde hair, has made a striking change with her flowing violet locks, reflecting her renewed sense of self.
Ell’s journey to this moment has been tumultuous, involving a split from her management, a new signing with Universal Music Canada, and confronting an eating disorder. Her new five-song EP captures these struggles and the emotional depth that came from her therapeutic journey.
The title track, “Love Myself,” co-produced with Doug Schadt, features Ell’s candid reflections. “Wanna be somebody who loves their body, but I hate my body,” she admits in the lyrics, expressing the complexities of self-acceptance. Other tracks like “The Hard Way,” “Pain Tolerance,” and “Story I Tell Myself” delve into her vulnerabilities, showcasing her evolved songwriting skills.
Ell emphasizes that her musical shift does not signify a departure from country music. “I just want to make music that’s real,” she asserts. “And I do believe it’ll find the right people.” With this new direction, she is poised to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
