Elles Bailey releases “Mumma and Me” single
Vocal powerhouse Elles Bailey has released a new single titled “Mumma and Me.” It’s Elles’ tribute to her mother, which was written during lockdown. It’s the first single from Elles’ upcoming UP due out in the spring of 2024.
“I’m very proud of ‘Mumma and Me’,” said Elles, “It was written during the first couple of weeks of lockdown, as a gift to my mother for Mother’s Day (whom I of course, couldn’t see). Inspired by our unique personalities and her unconditional love, I truly feel I captured her spirit in this song.”
“Then, at the tail-end of 2020, I had the great pleasure of being invited to collaborate with Redtenbacher’s Funkestra at the Masterlink Studio in Surrey. When discussing what songs to record I just knew we had to do this one, as it would fit the soulful nature of the band perfectly. We recorded it live in one take but then we added the beautiful string arrangement and wonderful vocal stylings of Kim Keyes (whom I had previously with on ‘Road I Call Home’ and ‘Wildfire’) to give it some extra sparkle and va-va-voom!
Bailey adds, “This very special song is finally being released, and it just so happens to coincide with a very big birthday for my incredible mum! So Happy Birthday You Queen — Thank you for always inspiring, encouraging, and nurturing! You truly are one-of-a-kind and I am so glad the song that celebrates your beauty is finally out in the world in all its glory!”
