UK Halifax-based indie artist Ellur has announced the upcoming release of her highly anticipated EP, God Help Me Now, set to drop on January 16, 2025, through the renowned label Dance To The Radio. Known for its collaborations with artists like Annie-Dog, SOMOH, and Terra Twin, the label adds another promising project to its roster.

Reflecting on her new EP, Ellur shared her thoughts: “‘God Help Me Now’ is the most honest song I’ve ever written. I approached co-writers Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Jack Leonard back in September with my heart on my sleeve, opening up about how I had so many things I wanted to write about that scared me. I joked with them about my dreams of writing that one song where people get on their friends’ shoulders and scream the lyrics. I wanted to write someone’s favorite song. In a nice way, it’s become my favorite song I’ve released so far, and after taking inspiration from the likes of Sam Fender, The Killers, and Sharon Van Etten, the fully produced version was born. The sonic world of this song is a true demonstration of exactly how I’ve always wanted my music to feel and sound. The perfect combination of synth, guitar, and snare that, to me, makes an indie anthem.”
