Watch “Party Animal” by Ella Red
Emerging alt-pop newcomer Ella Red continues her ascent, building anticipation for her debut album “It’s Not Real,” due January 2026. Although she only came onto my radar recently, it took a single spin of “Predator” to see her potential unmistakably. Ella is one of those rare artists who feels engineered for viral breakout moments, yet skilled enough to turn quick attention into long-term impact.
Following the fierce, emotionally loaded energy of “Predator,” Ella pivots in a bold and refreshing direction with her new track “Party Animal.” Serving as the official announcement for the album’s vinyl pre-save, the song arrives just as the year winds down—perfect timing for a cut that leans into playfulness, attitude, and full-throttle confidence. This time around, Ella embraces chaos with a wink, delivering lines dripping in self-awareness and sass.
She captures the fantasy beautifully:
“She’s so cool. She’s the only woman in the room.
Yeah, I think I wanna be her too.
She’s in all of the action.
She’s like the main attraction.”
Stylistically, “Party Animal” leans into unapologetic fun, but it’s the music video that truly seals the deal. Far from glossy, Ella opts for an intentionally DIY approach—handheld camcorder in tow, filming herself in a bathroom decked out with paper streamers. The result radiates chaotic charm and echoes the carefree, slightly wild energy of early Kesha, without feeling derivative. Instead, it highlights Ella’s ability to weaponise simplicity and personality in equal measure.
What stands out most, however, is her versatility. Across her releases, Ella proves she’s no one-note artist. She can deliver sharp electro-pop, emotional ballads, and everything in between, all while maintaining a clear artistic identity. With every track, she continues to build a world that feels bold, unpredictable, and completely her own.
