The multi-award-winning singing songwriter ELLES BAILEY has released a second single from from her eagerly anticipated EP due early next year. The new title is ‘Lean on My Love’ and has been taken from ‘The Night Owl and the Lark’ (scheduled for release 23rd February, 2024.)
With her most recent work, the musician has chosen to highlight different aspects of her emblematic musicianship —less rough, more tender— yet unmistakably Elles.
On this track the English singer finds inspiration in legendary composers like Carole King. The lifestream-redeeming piece is both contemplative & comfortably uplifting. With this track, the award-winning Blues & Americana singer-songwriter once again demonstrates her continued defiance of the restrictions placed on her genre.
The song, written by Elles with Jeff Elliott, Robert George, and Mike Morgan, is an incredible example of Elles at her best, displaying the depth, range, and of course smouldering complexity of her voice in addition to evoking an effortless pace and true depth of sentiment.

Elles at her best…
With the help of a tightly bound studio band made up of the groove-infused talents of Redtenbacher’s Funkestra, who offer the song its hypnotic melody, the wonderful track also delivers background vocals from Kim Keyes.
Elles explains the origins of the new single: “During ‘lockdown season one’ as I like to call it, a writer from America (Mike Morgan) reached out to me and said that he had a bunch of lyrics he’d written with his co-writers and would I like to put some music to them.
I was intrigued – I had never worked as a writer in this way before, but as I had a lot of time on my hands I asked him to send them over to me and I was really drawn to the lyrics of “Lean on my Love”.
