It’s been three years since Ella Hooper last released any music, but she is back in a big way with a surprisingly-disco infused pop tune, complete with lashings of cowbell and a fuck-you attitude.
As she explains: “’To The Bone’ came out of a late night jam with my band. I wanted something I could really get down and dance to. I wanted to press pause on the soul-searching indie rock for a minute and get kinetic and put some fire and energy out there again.
“I was feeling really fed up, totally over certain people, expectations and constraints and just blurted out some key phrases that made me feel empowered and powerful, reckless even, like ‘feel my wrath!’
“Kali The Destroyer came to my mind, Godzilla too. Basically, it’s about not giving a fuck and channelling pure unintellectual emotion, desire, and destruction. Smashing down those annoying buildings of past selves, if they stand in the way of what you need to become. Putting your pleasure and your path first. It’s something nice girls aren’t meant to do, which is all the more reason to do it… And it feels sooo good.”
Listen to the tune, below.
