Hot on the heels of her January single release ‘Growing Pains’, Brighton-based Elli Ingram now announces her sophomore album Bad Behaviour, due for release on 12th May via Elli’s imprint PINC.

To mark the announcement, she also shares the latest single from the LP, ‘Fool’s Gold’, a smooth soul cut that features Grammy & BRIT nominated UK star Mahalia, out now. The track, produced by long-time collaborators Aston Rudi & Felix Joseph, also features backing vocals from Bibi Bourelly.

With ‘Fool’s Gold’, Elli explores a more sensual R&B vibe in contrast to her last few singles, with the song outlining the complications of seeing eye to eye in a relationship as she croons, “ain’t you tired of taking, ‘cos I’m tired of giving.” Enhancing the message is Mahalia’s stunning guest verse, with both artists reiterating the futility of flashy presents that their partners wish to gift them. As Elli loudly proclaims in the chorus, “it don’t mean shit, if you don’t kiss my lips babe.”

This single follows a run of intimate sold-out shows across Europe, including Amsterdam, London & Paris. Elli was joined on-stage by her incredible all-female band, with support from Canadian rising star Laura Roy in both London & Paris. Her Berlin show is due to be rescheduled after an unexpected postponement.

Releasing under her imprint PINC (Promoting Independent Newcomers), Elli’s second studio album Bad Behaviour will highlight a more mature yet similarly vulnerable side to her music - music that has seen wide international acclaim over the past few years. Showcasing the rawness of her effortlessly soulful voice, Elli has carved out her sound through honest hard-hitting personal lyrics with a hip-hop flare.
