In her haunting new single “Rock Paper Scissors,” Pasadena-based indie singer-songwriter Ella Beyer turns heartbreak into art — exploring the imbalance of love through the metaphor of a rigged game where “you pulled the gun.” Produced by Grammy Award–winning producer Tim Sonnefeld (Elvis Costello, Usher, Dixie Hummingbirds), the track blends cinematic soundscapes, soft and intimate vocals, and raw storytelling into an unforgettable indie heartbreak anthem.
Her last single, “crime to be happy”, is a hauntingly introspective ballad that lives in the quiet spaces between heartbreak and healing. The song drips with raw vulnerability, with listeners following alongside Beyer as she navigates through the aftermath of a painful, one-sided split.
Ella’s single “Oxygen” reveals her old soul in a powerful piano ballad that captures the pain of losing oneself in the pursuit of perfect love. Written during a period of reflection, the lyrics, such as “breathing in regret like oxygen” encapsulate the struggle to meet others’ expectations. “Oxygen” serves as an anthem for those balancing self-discovery with the pursuit of love.
