That’s Just The Way It Goes For Ella Galvin

by | Jun 14, 2024

Rising New York-based artist Ella Galvin has dropped her debut EP, The Way It Goes alongside the release of it’s title track. Combining soulful vocals, catchy pop hooks, and grooving rock instrumentation, The Way It Goes upholds Ella’s penchant for eluding genre limitations. “The Way It Goes is a song about going back and forth between wanting to see your ex and not wanting to reopen those wounds again and risk being disappointed,” says Galvin.

The single arrives alongside Galvin’s first official music video. Filmed in New York City and directed by Cel Sanel, the video introduces viewers to the different facets of the rising star, from her love of fashion to her queer identity. Check out the video below:

Taking influence from pop, soul, jazz and rock, Galvin’s songs showcase her fondness for experimentation and innovation. Her EP, The Way It Goes masterfully combines her genre-blending musical influences with diaristic storytelling that explores themes of love, loss, and self-identity. Across the EP’s 6-tracks, she captures the charm, growing pains and introspection she’s experienced as a young, queer woman trying to make it in New York City,

Ella Galvin got her start performing in a variety of fusion bands in Boston and New York before branching out with her own solo project in 2022. She’s spent the last few years developing her sound and fine-tuning her live show with performances around New York City. She is an artist you’re going to want to keep an eye on!
