The Arts Around Us

This article is about a new up and coming singer who is only 16 years old, Ella Yelich-O’ConnorIt

It is very possible that she could be the first person to shift how we think of teenage pop. She is a young star that sings about the things she is going through in the present moment. Not the relationship she is imagining years down the line or the family she will have but what is affecting her now.

The article points out that she is does not take the popular route of singing about love or break ups which is the easiest way to sell records. Ella tries to write about her experiences and her friends thoughts and give a voice to all of the crazy complex thoughts that teens her age think but do not know how to express.
