Ella G'sell - Just That Beautiful

Ella G'sell bespeaks passion, dichotomy. Embracing contradiction, but never compromise, Ella is soulful, genuine, and peaceful. She is a voice of unity and hope. She draws several comparisons to other female artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Jewel, and Tori Amos, and even Fiona Apple.

Ella sings of her life experiences and tells a story through her diverse and eloquent songs. Her passion to her music and her diversity can be heard from the slow-paced title-track “Just That Beautiful” and throughout the rest of the album. Many of the tracks appear to be very emotional and have deep meaning, such as the song “Repent” and “Soul on Fire”. Within many of these songs you can also hear Ella’s dynamic vocal ability, which is an important quality for every singer.

More than anything, “Just That Beautiful” is an inspirational and meaningful album. Each song is so passionate and spiritual that the listener can’t help but experience the various emotions in her lyrics. The album basically lives up to its name, as it is beautifully composed and contains a great sense of soulfulness.
