Ella Vos returns with a statement in a new single, “National Anthem.” A shimmering, infectious anthem, it envisions a way to a better world, a better future in itself that is as simple as letting girls take the lead. With signature ethereal vocals and an undeniable sense of purpose, the LA native imparts a message as timely as it is timeless.
“National Anthem” is an audacious taste of Vos’ upcoming album, ROSEBUDS, due May 23rd. Vos has never shied away from taboo subject matter. She has written songs that deal with everything from postpartum depression to divorce, but seizing space for straightforward storytelling in pop continues to be her playground. This time, she looks outward, presenting listeners with a vision of collective empowerment and an irresistibly catchy melody.
The “National Anthem” message is all the more potent because of its hypnotic ease. It is less about resistance than about reimagining. What if the key to a better world was as easy as passing the mic to women? It’s a question that hangs long after the last note dies away.
With ROSEBUDS on the way, “National Anthem” teases a significant turning point for Ella Vos, where hope and possibility are bursting with color. Prepare to sing along, this is one anthem you won’t want to miss.
