New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The track was re-recorded at Larrabee Studios in Los Angeles earlier this year, this time along with producer Terry Santiel, whose history in the music industry has laid the foundation for decades of internationally revered pop artists, including work with
Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige,
Justin Timberlake and many more. Together they have created a universal soundscape they call Groovetonics, which brings this song into a whole new light.
The inspiration for the lyrics of this track are credited to ellee ven's own mother, who frequently delivered tough love and advice to her daughter. "Born in Seville, Spain and living through the inquisition made her a strong person with a colorful personality," reports ellee. She was also a model and excellent castanets player, who was very matter of fact about the issues of the heart.
"The lyrics come directly out of my mother's mouth," says ellee ven. "She would say things like 'Si he make you laugh, he make you cry'. Her favorite was 'No merece la pena', which means 'It's not worth the pain.' She was not an optimist about love, and that stance also inspired the album cover for this release: All black, because with her, there was no gray area."
This comes ahead of ellee ven's next song release, which touts taking personal accountability to be optimistic about better days ahead. The song is aptly called "
Better Days". Through her independent efforts over the last two years, ellee ven's music has earned over 11.5 million listens in 100 countries. As a means of artistic independence, ellee ven proudly owns the rights to her catalog.
