Ella Vos – Kawaii
Indie-pop gem and LA native, Ella Vos, kicks off the new year with her brand-new single, ‘Kawaii’ – a luminous, upbeat pop track that sets the stage for her highly anticipated fourth studio album, ROSEBUDS coming later this year.
This upcoming release is described by Vos as a “modern fairytale for the late bloomer”, exploring themes of femininity, growth, and rediscovery. With this being the first single to come from the project but the second installment in an overarching story, Ella invites listeners into a world of blossoming dreams and new beginnings.
“Kawaii, which means “cute” in Japanese, was inspired by an actual dream I had where “everyone” was mad at me for following my dreams of becoming a solo artist. I know many women who have experienced this when they step into their power, and others have trouble embracing the change. I have experienced it myself over the course of my career. As a solo artist in the music industry for nearly ten years, I’ve had my ups and downs; I’ve been starry eyed, I’ve been jaded. This song is about returning to the music world, the Los Angeles that I know and grew up loving, and saying goodbye to my people-pleasing self. It’s about chasing what I know makes me most joyful.” – Ella Vos
The single captures Ella’s signature dreamy synth-pop sound, blending shimmering melodies with introspective lyrics. As she revisits the places in LA that have shaped her life, she reflects on her journey through nostalgia and self-discovery, reimagining her past with the wisdom and resilience she’s gained. ‘Kawaii’ perfectly sets the tone for the new album, which celebrates transformation and the beauty of embracing change.
Known for her ability to tackle challenging topics through her music, Ella Vos has built a reputation for creating soothing, powerful songs that resonate deeply with her listeners. Her new project continues to center on themes of womanhood and femininity, shining a light on both the struggles and triumphs of life.
