Elle Sera Releases New Single, "Out Loud"!

“Out Loud” was spawned from a long gestating idea to create musical medicine for others, primarily women, who’ve been silenced in an abusive relationship. After enough experience and a whole lot of research, it was time to revisit the past with clarity and truth. And it was time to speak it in a way that would hold space and create resonance and healing for others sharing in the experience. 

It’s all tied up in a pretty 90’s cinematic bow. Because while the overtone is colored with a nod to an Alanis/Tori type of storytelling, the undertone is all strength earned for the lessons learned and realizing the strength of my own spirit and discovering what self-love is in a deeper way. Consider this song a “leaving the chat” vibe when love is no longer served at the table.

“Out Loud” is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple

Why White Christmas? by Elle Sera

Most folks seem to love or hate holiday music.  Just as long as it’s after Thanksgiving I can have some fun with them, especially ones that are attached to fond memories of holidays from my past. Of course the market is saturated with old and new versions every year as well so I wanted to be sure I was choosing something that spoke to ME.  I actually toyed between “White  Christmas” and “Christmastime”, both of which I have acoustic versions of already.  Ultimately I leaned into the former with some intuition & nostalgia kicking in.  

I have a rich memory bank of putting up the faux tree(family allergies!) with my mom every year.  All the while, breaking out the same holiday records to spin, boxes of ritualistic ornaments and some general feeling of spirit that flooded the upstairs living room.  And when it was all done, complete with other decor for the house, it would be evening and I’d lay under the tree, best I could next to the tiny village and manger scene.  I’d peer upward into the center of the tree at the colored lights and sparkle of the ornaments.  It always felt like an alternate universe and the perfect serene little daydream.  I wanted to pull all that mood into my coversong here and used all that imagery while in the vocal booth.  

I’d trusted that this uplifting version with the subtle hint of melancholy-pining would be palpable.  It seems the holidays hold memories for us all in one way or another and I wanted to pull out a few of the ones worth holding onto.

"We're Over Now" - by Cece Benz

Release Date: November 22, 2024

What You Should Know: "I first started writing this song back in the fall of last year, but didn’t finish it until this summer. I texted @luke11giles asking if he’d want to produce it and when we got back to Boston this fall, we got to work. With life and busy schedules, we actually ended up doing most of the recording and tracking within a week. This meant back to back studio sessions, mainly between the hours of 12am - 4am. I’m so proud of the way this song turned out and can’t thank @luke11giles enough for helping me bring my vision to life and putting up with me while I figured out what I wanted to do with the song."
