Multi-talent Ellis Newman (alias of Dutch singer-songwriter Ellis Sportel) will release her first solo single ‘Love To Cry’ June 18th. An eclectic pop anthem about the joy of crying, produced by Newman herself. With the song she wants to show the world that it’s okay to be emotional and that it can be liberating and beautiful to cry sometimes. “Growing up, I used to bottle up all my emotions in fear it was weak to show fragility. But over the years I learned that showing emotion is beautiful, and crying can be healing and liberating. Ultimately, allowing yourself to cry is self-love, and I need it once in a while to let go and stay sane. So, I watch a sad movie or put on that one song sometimes. We all cry. That’s what this song is about, the normality and beauty of it, turned into something to dance to,” Ellis says about her upcoming single.
