“Armed with her rich voice and enticing acoustic arrangements, local favourite Ellie Makes Music impressed with a maturity far beyond her years and an undeniably large talent. Her continual development as a performer and lyricist is testament to her tireless gigging in the past year and, while at her best when her vocal delivery was at its most delicate, expertly balanced the upbeat with the reflective. Influences from the Mitchells and Marlings are evident, they are by no means defining here; this is a young woman with stories to share and ample musical means to tell them.” – Tom Bevan, The Miniature Music Press 2013.
