Songbroker Song of the Dat: Elcee 'Crimson Lullaby (One Tree Hill)'

Auckland based singer/songwriter, Elcee has been singing since she was five years old, but started writing music at the age of sixteen.

Her vocals are perhaps the most distinctive feature which sit halfway between Kate Bush and Feist. It is her constant sense of story that is at the centre of Elcee’s music, drawn to the lyrical depth and soul of Joni Mitchell but also influenced by current electronic-infused bands like WET and London Grammar. 

With a wistful tone, Elcee weaves intricate and emotive lyrics into a landscape of pop, electronica, and folk.

Within the songs Elcee is immersed by her environment, often mirroring areas of her surroundings into the song.

‘Crimson Lullaby’ is a very simple, sparse acoustic offering highlighting the melody and Elcee’s unique voice and perspective.
