Breakout vocalist and songwriter Ella Vos debuts her self-directed video for "Cast Away" today-watch/share here.
Of the video Ella explains, "I envisioned this music video almost immediately after I wrote the song. I wanted to depict myself stranded in LA-my desert island-walking everywhere but going nowhere. Which is how I felt when I wrote this song. Each day felt like a repeat of the day before, and I was dragging myself along through the exhaustion and fatigue. The visual for the video was so clear in my head, it made sense to self-direct which was an amazing experience."
"Cast Away" is the first release since Vos' critically acclaimed debut album, Words I Never Said, and is taken from a forthcoming project that Vos wrote while in treatment for lymphoma. Since its release "Cast Away" has been praised by Uproxx as "gorgeous, mellowed-out electro-pop," while Ones To Watch furthers, "Vos is inspiring in her artistry and in her journey as a woman, and her voice speaks for many who might be facing a similar tidal wave of tribulations."
Los Angeles native Ella Vos writes pop with a fierce feminist perspective. Her breakout track, "White Noise," debuted in October 2016; it was featured as the #1 track on Spotify's and Hype Machine's Viral Charts. Rolling Stone hailed the song as "a seductive, gauzy, downtempo offering with enough pop polish to land it on a big soundtrack" and featured Vos as a "New Artist You Need To Know." Following the massive success of "White Noise," Ella Vos debuted "Little Brother," "You Don't Know About Me," "In Your Corner," "Rearrange," "Mother (Don't Cry)" and "I Know You Care" to similar acclaim.
With more than 160 million streams on Spotify to date, Ella Vos' songs have soundtracked ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," MTV's "Catfish," E!'s "Life of Kylie" and The CW's "The Originals." Recently, Vevo dscvr named Vos one of their 2018 Artists To Watch-watch her performance of "I Know You Care" here.
