Hailing from Cardiff in Wales is singer, songwriter and busker Ben Ellis. Already touted as one of the UK’s next big prospects, this musician’s creates well-constructed pop songs that are easy to connect with – both lyrically and sonically.
Ben returns today with a brand new single called ‘Runner Up’, which was inspired by the concept of unreciprocated feelings. Alongside its well-written lyrics, the song’s catchy melody will stick with you all day.
“‘Runner Up’ is a song for anyone who has unreciprocated feelings for a close friend, and would do anything for them – I wrote the song after driving a girl to see a psychic and waiting outside for her.”
As an artist on the rise, Ellis has already drummed up momentum (and a strong online following) from the release of just three other singles, totalling more than 600k streams on Spotify alone.
