“AMNPLIFY VIDEO PREMIERE”
ELEEA’s
sensitive new single
will leave you begging for more

Never one to shy away from delving into the threads of heartbreak and distress, award-winning singer-songwriter, ELEEA, is deviating from The Travel Collection to share her most sensitive and raw track to date, with I’d Beg released during NAIDOC week 2021.
Dishing up delicate fingerpicked electric guitar, echoing 808s and unusually soft vocals, brought to life by ARIA chart-topping producer, Brad Hosking (Amy Shark), this track from ELEEA’s archives marks the beginning of a new body of work.

“I’d Beg was initially written in Melbourne in 2016 before The Travel Collection concept began. It’s a song I rarely play live, but revisited during lockdown and updated to make the lyrics relevant to more recent experiences. It’s a really special song that’s evolved with me over the years,” said ELEEA.
“The intricacies of relationships fascinate me and and I’ve read a lot of work by researchers like Esther Perel and Brene Brown, who have inspired me to write from all the different experiences and perspectives in a relationship breakdown.”
“Through all this, I’ve learnt situations are never black and white, and more importantly, you can never truly change another person. This song captures that harsh moment of realisation.”

Proving herself as a multifaceted artist in the latest music video shot by Queensland talent, Colin Jeffs (Jacob Lee, Jesswar), I’d Beg delivers ELEEA’s signature self-styled vintage outfits, elaborate headpieces and stunning visuals, drawing inspiration from a late pop culture icon.
“The video was inspired by Princess Diana, visually recreating the ‘revenge dress’ and her famous workout outfits. I was inspired after I revisited her story again from a 2021 perspective, with a better understanding of mental health, power dynamics and her struggles. The sense of desperation and isolation seemed to fit this song.”
I’d Beg cements ELEEA’s sound after her initial exploratory releases, showcasing the songwriting talent that has seen her win a Queensland Music Award, receive competitive RADF and APRA grants, and be selected as a finalist in the prestigious APRA Professional Development Awards.
I’d Beg is out now on all streaming platforms, supported by a headlining launch show at Junk Bar, Brisbane on 30 July, as part of the Plot Twist live series.
I’d Beg has been supported by Arts Queensland and the Regional Arts Development Fund.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
