.. Purple tangerine dreams....Number 1 on the Myspace Trip-Hop charts for over a year, with almost a million plays, rising UK singer-songwriter Ella Montclare's debut album 'Ella Trip' is a truly global collaboration with producers from all over the world, including the legendary Dan The Automator, producer of The Gorillaz, and Kasabian.

“I Surrender” is the first single release from 'Ella Trip', a quirky, sensuous mash-up of tripped out beats and down-tempo soul, with a dark, retro feel, already in rotation on KCRW in Los Angeles and radio stations across the UK, a song which asks the question: is love only real if you completely surrender to it?

A star-in-the-making..
Daily Music Guide

I Surrender…an absolute babe of a track that coos and purrs with an unreal seduction, indelibly grafted to a sumptuously sophisticated noir trip hop frame..
The Sunday Experience

'I Surrender to you' surely should make you feel like the capturer, not the captive. Yet these words are to my detriment. Advantage Ella. A white flag has never felt so threatening..
Whisperin and Hollerin

Montclare is finally stepping out from the shadows…. I say I am powerless and "I Surrender"..
Zap Bang Magazine

Ms Montclare weaves a mesmerising melodic myriad..
Losing Today

Ella Montclare’s rich, soulful voice is perfect for Trip Hop..
Dieshellsuitdie

Ella has the sweet, subtle voice that helps captivate you as Skye did when Morcheeba burst through in 1999….how decadent and sublime these lazy, sexy tunes are..
The True Joe 90

Forget the rubbish you hear on X-Factor ….give Ella a listen as 'I Surrender' is a cracking release. You'll soon realise where Britain's talent lay instead of tuning into reality TV shows to discover the next big thing!..
Street Voice

As a taster for her debut album, "Ellatrip", this more than does the business..
Zeitgeist

It's wicked that an artist can write songs that are meaningful instead of the brain numbing rubbish that many mainstream artists come out with..
Street DIY

Ella Montclare's beautifully original music is a kinda cross-over between her beloved trip-hop and something altogether more transcendental; the kinda thing you'd get if Morcheeba, Portishead and Dido pooled resources and really went for it!! This is exactly the kinda thing that radio 'jocks' are looking for, especially late at night when the mood is perhaps a little more chilled...
Toxic Pete

A lovely trip-hoppy vibe here from Ella Montclare….Perfect..
Tasty Fanzine

This could be two or ten minutes long and it wouldn't matter. In fact, the longer the better, actually….if she can maintain this form, an album should be well worth the wait (single of the week)......
Adrian Denning

The combination of languid beats, little girl lost vocals and breathy rhythms is just so dashed addictive..
The Rocker
