Brighton Duo PELA Unveil New Single & Live Performance Video For “Tell Me” From Upcoming EP
Rising Brighton-based act PELA – the duo of singer-songwriter Hannah Coombes and producer Olly Shelton – have shared their irresistible new single “Tell Me”, and a live performance video shot from within the stunning St. Mary’s Kemp Town cathedral.
The first glance into an upcoming, soon-to-be-announced EP project, “Tell Me” is a minimalistic yet gorgeous offering that combines lush electronic soundscapes with glistening vocals, finding a sweet spot in contrasting textures.
“The track is a bit of a juxtaposition – sonically it’s uplifting yet lyrically it’s about being in the throws of anxiety” the duo say, speaking more on the contrasting emotions and style of the new single.
Elaborating further, PELA share: “Tell Me is about learning to interrupt the spirals we find ourselves in and how to navigate unhelpful thoughts. It was the first track we wrote after moving to Brighton and embodies the sense of a fresh start.”
The bright qualities and charming sense of optimism channel the likes of Oh Wonder and Sylvan Esso, making for a well-crafted modern pop hit.
