Makes the top 100 this week at Number 100.

#100 is better than nothing but that's such a misfire, don't know what they were thinking when releasing this...

It almost feels like they don't have a plan and record one song at a time and release it.

I think there may be some link with the Gospel group via Rudimental on this.

Whatever it was a dud.

Hurricane with Ofenbach is much better, but I agree there’s little focus. And how this all fits with a new album who knows!

Ya i agree, i thnk long term focus is missing and each single is like a one off, based on the last few releases you just couldnt call wha t her album would be like. I would like all the recent singles/features to feature on her album even if only on the digital version to help streaming but i really cant see a full studio album coming for a long time.

I think 'Let's Go Home Together' may have just been for Tom's album? If you ignore that the other recent Ella singles are a lot more cohesive.

Risk it all is 96 in the mid weeks.

 

Agree with those saying it's a dud, unfortunately.

 

Hurricane is a lot better.

its very strange what her and her team are doing... there seems no executed plan behind anything they do.

 

They had a hit with Tom Greenan, so the sensible thing would be to follow that sound but alas they've gone back to the sound that she's had zero success in as a solo star?

The problem for Ella and dance music is it probably isn’t a sustainable option for her. She needs a well known collaborator to create a hit single and she’s gone through quite a few already! She’s probably got Joel Corry, Shane Codd and the likes of David Guetta, which is very unlikely, left on the list!

I’m sure her heart is more in RnB and Soul, but pop is where she needs to get to maintain a profile.

For now the reality is, 7 years after Ghost, she’s a jobbing artist earning where she can.

I’d hope she could launch a pop oriented album for Christmas, then push it through on her support tour for The Script.

Longer term I could see her moving to TV where she seems quite comfortable and talented.

 

I think Ella mentioned on het Facebook or Instagram stories that she was doing an album shoot today. Or was I looking at an old post?

Ella could nearly release a greatest hits as her 2nd album if she includes all her collabs and solo singles.

:lol:

 

I dont get what her team are doing... the way to the GP is the indie-pop sound 'Let Go Home Together' yet their still trying the dance-pop stuff that didn't work previously???!?

With risk it all only making number 100 and her feature on the ofenbach track and the Paige Dougall track both not charting, its just so hard to call everything with Ella. Lets go home together has had a great chart run and gone platinum but there is huge inconsistency with both her music style and chart success its hard to see where she will be in the next year or 2.

Tbh I don’t think anyone expected the Ofenbach ‘feat’ to chart in the UK or the Paige charity single, which Ella didn’t even sing on. But I take your general point.

At this point I think she is just earning some money where she can, with little focus on her future music career. There is no strategy. She seems equally interested in song writing and TV appearances as in singing.

 

I would love if she became more established in one of her fields of interest, dont get me wrong i totally understand she needs to earn money like the rest of us and hats off to her, but i would love to see become more established again and in the ideal world have a reasonably successful second album.

Looking at next year she has a European tour supporting The Script so that may give some opportunity to develop a mainland Europe presence. Maybe more dance features like Ofenbach.

In the UK, she seems to know Joel Corry well so I can see a collaboration there. Maybe another duet, even with James Arthur. And at least one solo single like Take Care of You. I just can’t see a solo album getting any traction or her ‘traditional’ music like on the Glorious EP.

I think the year after next is when she can hit real problems with this rambling approach.

A Joel Corry based on his current success would be a great coup for Ella, and maybe she will get a couple of more features which all helps keep her name out there, it will be interesting to see what songs she performs as the support act on the Scripts tour.
