Nieve Ella has kicked off a new chapter with ‘Drive’, a song about taking back control

Nieve Ella has kicked off a fresh chapter with the release of 'Drive'. 

The single came together during a loose, unplanned session with co-writer Finn Marlow and producer Jamie Rendle, and sits alongside a visualiser filmed across rain-soaked London streets.

Speaking about the process, Ella said: "It was so out of my comfort zone, and I needed it." She added: "I wrote Drive seeking independence and relief from the emotional ties and pressure I feel, using driving as a metaphor for taking control of my life and escaping that feeling of being held back. It speaks about my feelings of freedom and self-belief, and the conflict between maintaining companionship and prioritising myself and the life I am building."

Prior to this release, Ella put out the 'Watch It Ache and Bleed EP'. She'll debut more new material during her intimate April tour.
