Known for her ‘mesmerizing and magnificent’ voice (Amplify the Noise), emotionally resonant songwriting and years of experience on the stage, Sydney-based songstress Ella Haber is kicking off the next phase of her career with the joyous, soul-drenched anthem of empowerment, ‘Walk On’. Inspired by the tight grooves, bold horn lines and infectious joy of 60’s-70’s soul artists such as Curtis Mayfield, Al Green and Cymande, ‘Walk On’ is a reminder to cherish and protect your own integrity at all costs. Ella wrote the single with her longtime collaborator Yianni Adams (Kyoshi), and sent the demo off to Melbourne’s Frollen Music Library (Darvid Thor, Henry Jenkins, Hudson Whitlock - Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo, The Pro-Teens) to bring their soulful, analogue approach to the production. 

The track opens with Ella’s commanding vocals front and center, declaring ‘I’m not waiting’ over the sultry, stripped back groove set up by the congas and tasty bass motif. The track takes its time, building a vibe that’s both laid-back and self-assured, before bursting into the triumphant chorus driven by classic soul instrumentation. Written in the days after Ella’s support slot for British 70’s funk/soul legends Cymande at their sold-out Liberty Hall (Sydney) show, ‘Walk On’ was inspired by the infectiously tight grooves, vibrant horn lines, and profound message of joy and resilience.
