Ella telling about her stay in LA

Ella wrote this about her stay in LA in her latest newsletter:

"As for LA, I love being out here and working with so many incredibly talents! I've been working with such credible experienced producers in the industry... with Mr Salaam Remi, Babyface, The Rascals & more. My time out here has been so much fun... I've visited the Hollywood sign, Hollywood Blvrd, Malibu Beach! My fave places to go for food are Bossanova and a little café called Fratellis... but my obsession with PINKBERRYS kinda overrules everything- mm strawberry frozen yoghurt with gummy bears on top! ;) I love the Grove out here too... it's so cute! All the little cafés, shops and stalls!! I bought my new EllaStar phone case from there too ;)"  (Excerpt from Ellas Newsletter, June 12, 2013)

Bossa Nova on 7181 West Sunset Boulevard, LA
The restaurant is actually located very close to the spot were actress Laura Harring crosses Sunset Blvrd on her way down from the Hollywood hills in the initial scenes of the American cult movie Mulholland Drive.

Tulisa's Twitter reaction to the rough demo

Media reactions to the rough demo of "Waiting"

The Grimsby Telegraph: “Ella Henderson's demo track Waiting is praised across the globe”

Female first: “Stripped back to the point where you can even hear Henderson cough, it shows good signs for her debut album”

Fabulous: "We think it’s stunning. A classy act, original and incredibly beautiful. Well done, Ella. Bring on that album."

PopLedge: "The track demonstrates Henderson’s natural vocal power and reminded me of a Norah Jones laid back vibe."

The Daily Mail: "Worth Waiting for! Ella Henderson unveils new demo... and instantly wins praise from proud X Factor winner James Arthur." ----

SugarScape: "Yuhuh, E-Hendz has 'unveiled' a rough demo of 'Waiting' on the interweb - and as predicted it's a slice of smooth, piano-tinkly goodness that has us shedding a little tear of joy and RAW EMOTION."

AMAZEPOP: "Stop what you’re doing, make yourself comfy, relax and put on Ella Henderson‘s first post-record-deal release – a spine-chilling piano ballad by the name of ‘Waiting’. Recorded all in one take, it’s an abs. o. lute. ly. beautiful way to pass 3 minutes; sung with perfection and serving as a healthy reminder of that songwriting talent she showcased so well back when she first tried out for The X Factor. This recording is only a demo, but I can’t imagine a polished and mastered studio edit being any better – the “raw” feel of it, cough and all, is what makes it so gorgeous, and I hope the record she puts out later this year has at least a couple of tracks as untampered-with as this."

Rough demo of the song "Waiting" - published by Ella Henderson on May 8, 2013



Ellas own comments: WAITING-ORIGINAL DEMO
I wrote this ballad during my first session back in the studios with the TMS boys! x
Kinda relates back to my experiences of the past year.

Ella x
Ps. Excuse the cough ;)

Save the Children's A Night of Funk and Soul gala - The Roundhouse, London, March 20, 2013


Artist lineup, among others:
Jocelyn Brown
James Morrison
Beverly Knight
Ella Henderson
Nile Rodgers
Lemar
Hamish Stuart
Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones) - surprise performance



The Tatler wrote:
"For proper, get-your-hair-messy-and-not-give-a-fig fun, it doesn't get much better than the Roundhouse. And golly, Save the Children's Night of Funk and Soul (hosted by Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton and Sir Alan Parker) was a hoot. Samantha Cameron, Joely Richardson and Ronnie Wood sat down to watch Ella Henderson, James Morrison and Beverley Knight perform but, with the music being that good, they didn't stay seated for long.“

 
The Daily Mail wrote:
“Taking guests on a musical journey back to the Funk and Soul era with some of the most danceable music ever written, the fantastic bill was presented by comedian and TV presenter Ross and included performances by contemporary artists Ella Henderson, James Morrison, Lemar and Beverley Knight.
Legends in the genre including Chic founder and legendary songwriter Nile Rodgers who collaborated with James Brown band leader Maceo Parker, and Average White Band frontman Hamish Stuart also played for the first time in history at the event.“
