Oklahoma-born, but now based in the vibrant city of Prague, Mary Elle was discovered online by producer Gregory Darling, sparking a musical collaboration that has led to widespread industry acclaim.
With her latest single, ‘Down The Rabbit Hole’, Mary Elle brings her emotional alt-pop tonality into orchestral realms. The track opens with a scene-setting piano line, grasping the listener before the vocals wrap around the atmosphere. Mary Elle carries perfection and authenticity in her words, the sparse instrumentation is not a limitation of her power behind the microphone.
Steady drums emerge, subtly pulsing behind her sound, leaving room for a rising string line. The balance between haunting and beautiful is a tightrope Mary Elle walks with ease, holding the audience close as she discloses her darkest thoughts. There’s no need for a huge, uncompromising climax, Mary Elle makes her feelings known through minimalism, subtly pushing the barriers of her sound.
The artist explains, “The inspiration behind the song is describing what it feels like to go through a toxic relationship, yet still leaving some room for interpretation”
