Bristol-based alt-rock singer-songwriter Elly Hopkins releases her debut EP, Animal.
Hopkins is a jazz singer turned alt-folk-rock artist, blending country-rock, soul, folk, and grunge into a vintage texture rich with modern grit and magnetic storytelling. Her bold debut, Animal, fuses alt-rock with Americana, balancing tenderness with strength.
Closing track ‘One Man Band’ bursts with alt-rock energy and a country flair, showcasing Hopkins’ unlimited potential and hinting at even bigger things to come.
“‘One Man Band’ is probably as close to a pop song as I will ever write. The bassline appeared first which made me smile – and then lyrics that arrived were a grumpy rant about some male musicians that I have encountered. It seemed that they were carrying less worry, less fear and less care about other people than me -and I want to be that relaxed!”
