Singer-songwriter Ellise joins Tamara Dhia to unpack the heartbreak, honesty, and Halloween energy behind her sophomore album Pretty Evil. From writing “Bite” in the middle of a toxic relationship to reclaiming her creative control after leaving a major label system, Ellise opens up about rediscovering her voice, the power of independence, and why darkness feels more natural than bubblegum pop.
She talks about Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, and Paramore as her biggest inspirations, reflects on the viral success of 911, and teases her next era — one that’s “less heartbreak, more sex tape.” 👀
Plus, hear how she’s blending her Iraqi heritage into her new music, why she loves touring more than TikTok, and what it means to stand in your own power as a woman in the industry.
Listen as Ellise gets candid about love, loss, rebirth, and being “Pretty Evil” in all the best ways.
