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."
