Indie-pop rising star Neve Ella has unveiled her latest single, “Sugarcoated,” the anthemic follow-up to March's smash hit “The Things We Say” (which was released on the heels of Neve's sold-out debut headline tour).
Written in collaboration with producer Jamie Rendle, “Sugarcoated” tackles what Neve describes as her “struggle with imposter syndrome” and the disconnect between how people perceive her online and who she really is. “I had the experience of meeting an old friend on the train who I hadn't seen in years and that conversation inspired the song,” she said.
“So this is me explaining to them that I'm the exact same person that they knew me back home, but also celebrating how hard I've worked for my dreams. This is just like saying, 'Sometimes you need to sweeten things up.'” Check out the “Sugarcoated” visualizer below.
