Ella’s new single “Englishman In New York” is a cover of Sting’s 1988 song.
Speaking on the track Ella states, “Sting has always been an idol of mine and when I moved to NY around the age of 12, it was sort of a culture shock for me. I thought there wouldn’t be many differences in the US culture compared to the UK culture but boy was I wrong! This record helped to put that experience into words for me.”
