ELLE DARLINGTON – WISH YOU WOULD

Elle, a 20-year-old artist, released her debut single “Wish You Would.” This soulful pop track is catchy and perfect for summer. Elle shares that she wrote this song after going through a breakup from a long-term relationship. Taking some time to heal, she went on a writing trip to Los Angeles. The experience was incredibly inspiring for her, and she returned home feeling refreshed and ready to create. Growing up in a small town in North Wales, Elle had always been passionate about singing and had been taking lessons since the age of five. At 17, she made the move to London, determined to pursue a career in pop music. It’s been said that she has been working on her full-length project for over two years, so while we eagerly anticipate the official announcement, let’s enjoy this delightful slice of pop music below!
