Ella Montclare's debut album 'Ella Trip' is a truly global collaboration with producers from all over the world, including the legendary Dan The Automator, producer of The Gorillaz, and Kasabian. “I Surrender” is the first single release from 'Ella Trip', A quirky, sensuous mash-up of tripped out beats & down-tempo soul, with a film noir, retro feel, already in rotation on KCRW in Los Angeles & radio stations across the UK, a song which asks the question: is love only real if you completely surrender to it?

Produced by Steve "B" Buchanan - Dr Dre’s #1 engineer & beatmaster - "I Surrender" was conjured out of one of their 'midnight sessions', an all-night studio lockout, creating a vibe which is richly reflected in Montclare's tripnotic beats, fairytale lyrics & darkly seductive vocals & melodies.

With a long anticipated UK live tour & radio tour in the pipeline, Ella's live performances, often accompanied by an all-female string quartet & harpist, are gaining a reputation as glamorous & theatrical experiences, The New Statesman reviewed her last London show: Unbelievable trip-hop gig….It was terrific, people. If you didn't go, kick yourself NOW. Ella has also been described as: Sade meets Florence + the Machine, a powerful & flamboyant performer who transcends the stage. In short, Ella Montclare is one of the most original & ambitious artists to come out this year.
