Altogether exceeding a simple melody and infusing a vast emotional experience, Ellie Rivers returns with a stunning new single, “Weightless.” Hers is one of those tracks that mirrors our plight and talks us out of its grasp. No vocal harm is done with her sizzling signature belting wrapped around these tortured threads, and she invites listeners to take the journey with her to reclaim our truths.
“Weightless” covers like a warm embrace and pulls into its often grand, often weary, but ultimately spirited world. Ellie’s strong yet tender voice bears the weight of the song’s message, the process of letting go of self-doubt and entering a space of profound freedom. Each lyric is purposeful, resounding with everyone who has fought for their visibility or worth.
The production suits the song’s theme of illumination. The instrumentals are exquisite and built like a rising sun, slowly adding light to the soul. An airy heft to the arrangement matches the song’s essence. “Weightless” is a reminder that no one has to carry the burden of self-doubt alone. With this release, Ellie has established herself as an artist who delivers a performance, engages, and inspires.
