After her debut last year with ‘low’, ELLE MB is making sure 2023 is the year of her artistic glory. She’s on the right track: after ‘closure’ released back in April, the German talent now returns with ‘roleplay’, a fantastic, elegant and groovy offering built on soulful, RnB tones and intimate lyricism. Taking the cue from ELLE’s musical expertise – she’s classically trained – the record explores organic vibes, blending soul guitars, jazzy drums and polite sub-bass, the perfect framework for the Berlin creative’s evocative and nuanced vocals.
An experienced performer and industry veteran, ELLE MB doubles down on her artistic outlook by delivering a project that feels playful, relatable, yet intense in its musicianship charge. ‘roleplay’ is the ultimate celebration of that, expanding on previous records in a positive direction.
Describing the lyrical inspiration behind the song, the German songstress explains: “When it was clear that ‘roleplay’ will be the keyword and maybe even the title, I instantly connected it to a feeling of not being able to be your truest self in relationships and how this can be damaging but also how beautiful it is to open up to people with good intentions, more understanding and healthy communication.”
