While parts of the world awaken from Coronavirus hibernation one hopes in a post Covid-19 society there’s a rebirth of more humanitarian world. With these troubled times slightly abating, it seems right to champion a narrative that embraces a powerful unifying story of second chances, a society “do over” whereby we reboot and start again. It’s a divine opportunity to make amends with the planet and the human race.

As in life, music can also be gifted a new beginning. Ella Fence song ‘Hunter’ is such a prospect.

While we were all forced into locked down it’s been well documented many musicians had their creative wings clipped their livelihoods disintegrating overnight.The most obvious imposition to working artistes while in self isolation was the ability to perform live but musicians also had their capacity to create new music severely impacted. The inability to access state of the art recording studios and facilities and the incapacity to gather in groups and be overseen by a professional production team, severely debilitated the output of new music.

The restraint of not being able to record fresh material amongst like minded creative peers, contributed to the overall powerlessness felt by artsites, the imposition though did present one positive bi-product. That useful residual was recognising an opportunity for artistes to revisit previous work and reintroduce songs that may have been overlooked when originally released. As much as talent can elevate a song to dizzying heights, success also relies impart around timing as well as genius.

Ella Fence’s ‘Hunter’ wasn’t so much released back in 2015, it escaped.

Locally in Australia ‘Hunter’ went unnoticed, while simultaneously in the USA, Ella was lauded amongst significant international company, with the track being added to Spotify curators playlist, ‘Femme Fatale’. Other artistes to be included on the compilation are Lorde, Laura Marling, Fiona Apple and Joss Stone. ‘Hunter’ has  chalked up over 1.6 million streams (70% of those streams originate in North America the other 30% is made up from UK and mainland Europe).

As we speak the the numbers in Australia for ‘Hunter’ are virtually non existent and now is the moment to remedy the provincial oversight; the time is right for a ‘Hunter’ awakening.

Ella Fence ‘Hunter’ is a memoir of salvation . A trippy glide of moog electronica and old school carnival harpsichord, booming drums, dominated with a voice that calls out for the ages all bound tight in a midnight black lyrical narrative. Recorded in Germany it documents a pantomime of growing tensions, a song about people struggling to stay in the one place.

Does that scenario sound familiar?
