As she's gotten older, Ella Smoker has found that her subconscious
has been trying to tell her "some pretty wacky stuff". Thoughts will
come to the 21-year-old singer-songwriter in dreams, or as she
writes lyrics in studio sessions, words floating onto the page before
she's really had a moment to realise what they are. "As soon as we
start making the music, my brain sort of turns off," she explains. "I'll
be sitting there, writing all this stuff that feels like a load of
nonsense, and a month later, I'll look back and be like 'oh'. It all
comes from a place I didn't even realise was there."
