“Irrésistible Swedish Soul” (Rolling Stone)
Depuis un premier EP remarqué sorti fin 2019 (4 étoiles dans Rolling Stone), la chanteuse suédoise Little Ellen poursuit sa route dans les méandres des 70’s.
“Little Ellen est bien plus grande que moi” dit Ellen Birath de son alter-ego. “Elle est plus dure, plus insouciante. Et avant tout, elle aime les belles mélodies.”
Mais les deux personnages partagent quelques similitudes frappantes.
Nées au début des années 90, elles sont toutes les deux marquées par l’éruption de la brit pop, les vestiges de la collection de vinyles de leurs parents, quelques compilations ‘Greatest Disco Hits’ et plusieurs iPod Minis de mp3s mal étiquetés de Limewire et Napster.
Les deux ont quitté la maison à 18 ans avec un rêve de rock n roll, et après 10 ans dans les clubs de jazz parisiens, les deux essaient de naviguer le marché indé au temps du streaming.
Little Ellen n’est pas autant un alter-ego qu’un sentiment. Une façon de canaliser la pression de réussir dans le climat anxieux de l’industrie musicale de nos jours. Quand tout ce qui t’importe, ce sont les belles mélodies et leurs réactions humaines.

Little Ellen Biography
“Irrésistible Swedish Soul” (Rolling Stone)
“Little Ellen is bigger than me” says Ellen Birath in regards to her alter-ego. After an explosive debut EP (4 stars in Rolling Stone) the Swedish songstress is back in the studio, with a new release set for the fall of 2021.
“She’s tougher, more childish and just has an unapologetic love for a good, strong melody”
But the two personas do share some striking similarities. Born in the early 90’s, both were raised on the outbreak of radio brit pop, the remnants of their parents’ record collection, a couple of ’Greatest Disco Hits’ compilations and several iPod Minis’ worth of mislabeled MP3s from Limewire and Napster.
Both left home for the big city at age 18 with a rock & roll dream, and both are trying to navigate the free market in the age of streaming.
Little Ellen is not so much an alter-ego as a feeling, a way to canalise the pressure to succeed in the sweaty climate of today’s music industry, when all you really care about are beautiful melodies and their honest human response.
