At long last, a brand new song by Ella Lockert! Her second song this year is titled “Whisper all my secrets,” and you may have heard a snippet of it if you’ve been watching Norwegian TV shows for generation Z. “VGS” (short for “High School”) features visual and audible content from the performer.
To say that “Whisper all my secrets” is an emotional roller coaster would be an understatement. It delves into the mental and emotional wrangling that occurs when you care deeply for someone you know is bad for you, but it’s still difficult to walk away from them. Ella Lockert’s piano and the sensitive line “Every inch of you is killing me” set the tone. The statement “this time it’s war” is followed by a dramatic climax and the introspective inquiry “Why do I whisper all my secrets?” Is she going to leave…? It’s a jewel, equal parts gentle and hard-hitting. Released on October 27!

Ms. ELLA LOCKERT SO, TELL ME, WHY DO YOU MAKE MUSIC? Obviously, I would. It’s my life, my soul, my everything. Putting on a show and making music are two things I’ve always enjoyed doing. The way it makes me feel, the freedom I have to express myself, and the joy I get from sharing it with others are incomparable. TO WHAT DO YOU OWE THE MOST OF YOUR SUCCESS? I’m a highly emotional person, which has its benefits and drawbacks. Writing is my way of thinking and understanding the world around me. My friends, my love, my heartbreaks, the myriad emotions I experience on a daily basis, and my age in general all serve as sources of inspiration for my writing. Using topics that are familiar to the majority of readers. Tate Mcrae, Mimi Webb, and the Norwegian Astrid S. are some of the musicians I enjoy listening to.
