"[Ellis] effectively conveys songs filled with love and the longing for it, baring her soul and demonstrating a vulnerability that makes Break the Spell easily her most compelling attempt yet."

Live concert clip of Ellis on YouTube
Here is a video clip featuring the brand new song "Coming Home To You". It was recorded at the show in Portland, OR on May 13, 2008 and placed on YouTube by Tigger.
This song, incidentally, is the May Angel Song. So if you sign up to be an Angel in the month of May, you'll get a free download of this song (as well as 11 more downloads over the next year, free copies of Undefended Heart, and half off all your other CD purchases).

Ellis in the news
Check out the current issue of Curve Magazine. Thanks Margaret Coble for the wonderful review! :)
There are also new reviews posted on the reviews page, including a wonderful review in Just Out (portland, OR).
"Ellis walks on stage, flashes a bashful grin and does what she does best: singing her heart out every single time. She has a lovely voice, guitar chops and a graceful songwriting style; however, there is something about her live performance that is transformational. The sum is greater than the parts, and she is amazing."
