Rising artist Ellie Dixon releases ‘Guts’, a self-produced samba-rock-dnb-pop fusion track exploring anxiety and missed experiences.

Artists: Ellie Dixon

Ellie Dixon has shared her new single ‘Guts’, a self-produced track mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

The release follows her previous single ‘Renaissance’ from winter 2024, arriving after a year that saw Dixon collaborate with VISA for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and tour with UPSAHL.

‘Guts’, which Dixon describes as “a samba-rock-dnb-pop fusion painting the frustrations of the anxious mind”, marks a new, heavier direction for the up-and-comer.

“Guts was born from a conversation I had with some friends who were sharing stories from their teenage years. As everyone told tales of parties and dates and rebellions I had nothing to contribute. As a nervous kid I wasn’t going out, wasn’t dating, wasn’t having the same sorts of adventures. In that moment I saw all of these experiences I had missed because of my anxiety and I felt a welling of anger. Guts is a therapeutic outlet for that anger. A party song for the people who weren’t at the parties. A song to shout out loud for the people who didn’t shout,” Dixon explains.
