irish singer songwriter jen ella releases dreamy ode to her own self worth 'eyes for you'

Cork native singer-songwriter Jen Ella has just released a new single, “Eyes For You.” Now based in Glasgow, the soft-rock song is her first release of 2021. The indie-folk song drifts within a dream-like world of Jen’s soothing vocals and storytelling, sparkling guitar sounds, a steadfast beat, and ambient elements.

She says, “The song is quite personal to me, it’s about a battle between head and heart. It’s about chasing something that’s not good for you. Though you know it's not right for you, you continue to chase it anyways.”

She goes on to say, “As hard as it is, the experience brings you on a journey of recognizing your own self-worth. Though it's dragging you down, it forces you to realize that you deserve better.”
Jen recalls this song being one that poured out her effortlessly, and she hopes the song will connect with people who have gone through similar things.

The song was recorded in Venice of the North studios in Glasgow with Andy Sheppard. It features Andy Sheppard on bass, NAME on drums, and Jen Ella playing everything else.
