EMERGING ARTIST: Ella Red – EQ Music Blog

Every now and then, a new voice cuts through the noise of pop’s crowded landscape, and this week, that voice belongs to Ella Red. The rising singer-songwriter fuses emotional lyricism with shimmering alt-electro production, crafting a sound that feels cinematic, confident, and distinctly her own. With each subsequent release, Ella Red is proving she’s one of 2025’s most intriguing new artists to watch.

Emerging alt-pop artist Ella Red has been steadily making waves in 2025. In fact, her latest release, “Predator” has just landed on my radar — quite literally, via Spotify’s Release Radar. One listen in, and I was instantly hooked by its captivating blend of alt-electro-pop textures and Ella’s magnetic vocal delivery. The track oozes confidence, effortlessly balancing glossy pop sensibilities with an edgy, emotionally charged undercurrent.

A quick dive into her Spotify catalogue reveals a flurry of singles this year. These all build momentum towards her debut album “It’s Not Real“, readied for release in January 2026 via Nettwerk Music Group. For sure, Nettwerk know a star in the making when they see one!

In light of the resurgence of bold, personality-driven pop from artists like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, Ella Red’s arrival couldn’t feel more timely. There’s a lyrical flair here that nods to Chappell’s unapologetic storytelling. Furthermore, paired with a polished, playful aesthetic that channels Sabrina’s brand of charisma. Yet Ella brings her own spark. Overall, a mix of vulnerability and bite that sets her apart in the new wave of femme pop on the rise.

Between “Predator” and the stellar singles from this year, Ella Red is already laying the groundwork for something special. With her sharp songwriting and alt-electro-pop flair, Ella Red is above all an artist on the rise. TIP: Keep her firmly on your radar as “It’s Not Real” draws closer. (PRE-save “It’s Not Real” HERE)
