Ellen Benediktson is continuing her pop/rock journey with the follow up single Maniac, following the single Basic which was released earlier this summer.
Maniac is released August 30th on Arnoux Recordings
in collaboration with Icons Creating Evil Art.
After her debut single Basic, which made it into editorial playlists on Apple Music and Spotify, Ellen Benediktson is continuing her pop/rock journey with the follow up single Maniac. In this ”Don’t bore us, get to the chorus”, 80’s influenced, pop/rock song, she’s diving into an addictive chant-hook right from the start. ”You can call me a Maniac” sings the artist in a song about following your dreams and how going your own way might make you seem crazy to some. Maniac is written and produced by the same team as Basic including the artist herself, Linnea Deb, Andreas Lindbergh and Dino Medanhodzic, giving Ellen’s second single a familiar sound, building up her brand.
”I’ve always been a dreamer and I’ve always been told anything is possible. When I was a kid my mom would tell me everyday before school ”You’re the best, don’t take any shit and don’t let anyone walk all over you”. That made me into a very stubborn, resilient and a little delusional girl, three ingredients crucial for doing something as crazy as trying to become a pop star.”
