@ell.ejackson has been getting some well-deserved praise for her “Dinner With a Friend / Dream Girl” release! The double-single was recorded, mixed and mastered at
@silvercitystudios by
@josh_evert_ and Ellie.
“… These two songs are such knockouts — their smart lyrics, rich sentiments and irresistible pop-rock hooks recalling the craftsmanship of indie-rock songwriting aces like Aimee Mann and Courtney Barnett — I’m hoping we get a whole lot more songs from Jackson soon.”

“I really really love [Dinner With a Friend]. It’s got this 60’s bubblegum kind of feel, but it also has a melancholy vibe.”

“Ellie Jackson brings a force all her own to her solo work, writing ’90s-meets-modern-day indie folk rock with gutsy vocals, thoughtful lyrics and plenty of distortion.”
-Erin Wolf for

“‘Dream Girl’ is a searing statement on the male gaze — particularly in regards to a female-identifying artist and the role of ‘muse’, according to Jackson — and is one heck of a first single.”

“‘Dinner With A Friend’” is a perfectly poppy concoction tempered by Jackson’s slightly melancholy vocals. Frequent collaborators
@barry_paul_clark ,
@crumbsonthedrums , Josh Evert, and
@caleyconwaymusic all appear here, giving the song a delirious sugar rush.”
