[03 November 2008] Written by Chyna Tyler - inspired by Ella Blame

Reciprocations
I hear it,
all aspects of you,
your soul of souls
crying out to me in
lustful agony.
Fret not, love, for
you have captured my
attention.
I feel your song as
it penetrates all
of my being.
You are all so
hauntingly soothing.
Cry not, love, for
my spirit soothes you,
all for the receiving, so
do not
cry in want without
expecting
reciprocations.
You mezmerize my
psyche and I dance
to the rhythym of
your tantalize and
beckoning.
You are all so
so
very~~
take me; taste
of me as
you so wish.
Swallow me and
drench me in your
madness.
Succumbed,
yesssssssss.

Very original and captivating. Like the sinister background organ music underpinning the sometimes haunting melody and otherworldly vocals. - ASongsmith

[24 October 2008] Song Comment ("If I Could") @ SongRamp:

Dark and mystery like, unusual vocal tones sets this track apart from most. Lyrics captivating. Enjoyed the listen! - Ron Madore

[08 October 2008] Review "Bitter Tears" by Anna Maria Stjärnell @ the Ectophiles' Guide

Ella Blame continues to make edgy yet accessible music. She's still a strong presence vocally and is not afraid of experimenting. The densely throbbing "Cyberlover" is stuff to be proud of. Blame is not one to take an easy way out when she can throw a curveball. The spooky "Incurable" tiptoes delicately round its melody like Björk can do. "Bitter Tears" is haunted and dramatic, and Blame's acrobatic vocals don't let it down. It's another song that would easily fail in less assured hands. The closing "Hymn of Goodbye" is a suitable song to end the album. It's almost celestial and sweet, Blame's vocals angelic.

[04 October 2008] Song Comment ("Cyberlover") @ Mixposure:

The lyrics alone are so good and ...funny...Sad funny...It's the only way all these scared people are trying to fill that great big hole in their soul...The music seems to come from another world I've never heard of before...That's good yes? Yes... - I Come Prepared

[04 October 2008] Song Comment ("Cyberlover") @ Mixposure:

[03 September 2008] Review "Bitter Tears" by Mick Mercer

A title like ‘Cyberlover’ can raise doubts in advance for my mind, as though I’m in for some sub-Industrial dance crossover a la Android Lust, but actually Ella is a bit weirder than that, with creepy lyrics. She sneaks around among gently clattering percussion...... singing about the filth-obsessed online. ‘Perfect Man’ is slower, shimmering electronic pop, with some sexier singing, swoonworthy on ascending jazzy trails. ‘If I Could’ is aerated ethereal indie, gasping for life on a mossy bank like Kate Bush in a huge net, with ‘Incurable’ lighter ands gloopier but quite entrancing. ‘Slippery Slope’ has the rhythm down to a dying heartbeat with little curly vocals stretched saucily across from ear to ear, but the summery glide of ‘A Thousand Kisses’ has a smoother melodic grace that is hooked into old Americana.

‘Bitter Tears’ comes on like a torch singer battered by a rainstorm, sub-frantic and, unfortunately, repetitive, but it does hold your attention, and this is where the album moves up a towards a pricklier gradient which is what gives it overall strength, even if certain songs seem underfed. ‘Foldback’ is sweeter, with its minxy percussive drive and buzzy bass flirting capably, carrying you on a subtly swirling uplift, with ‘I’m Just Dreaming’ strangely reminiscent of Art Of Noise, jarring but inventively in its shuffling. ‘Bit For Bit’ is like Bjork with the dementia filtered out, and then the simplest song of all, ‘Hymn Of Goodbye’, is genuinely touching in its honest, celestial haze.

[29 August 2008] Comment on MySpace:

...wow, the voice, the arrangements, the canvases, the photos.. I’m entranced.. I’d have never thought a soul could be so tangible as yours. Is there an antidote because I just can’t stop listening and looking.. - David Faylin from Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

[16 August 2008] Review: "Ineffable Desire" and "Bitter Tears" by Thon Huijser:

Ella Blame crosses over and conquers inner space

Both albums by Ella Blame left me captivated and speechless from the very first notes. Writing a review would not be a simple task I knew.
The first association that sprang to mind was: the “LaGrange-point” ... which is any point in space between two planets where both forces of gravity are equal or zero. For example the point between earth and moon where one escapes earth’s gravity and gets caught by the moon from thereon.
This is what Ella Blame accomplishes with her music - when listened to at the appropriate volume (!) - she takes you out there, gets you floating and pulls you in.

The albums are definitely connected, sequelled, building up to what I hope a third one.
The first album “Ineffable Desire” kicks off with “Fast Life” and will move any dance floor into harmonic vibrations. It is followed by 11 very compact songs, each stating their point with sweeping rhythms alternated with warm instrumental textures.
The songs seem to have the overall lyrical theme of conflicting emotions, both concerning one’s individual doubts as well as conflict with other persons. Even in a song like “Dance With Me” there is a battle going on between surrendering and independency, reflected in lyrics and music.
“Crossing The Border” is probably my favourite because it holds all these elements.
Ella Blame collaborates with various musicians and she is careful to choose the particular sound and feel the songs need. The rhythms on “Swamp Of Lead” are brilliant as Ella’s voice sighs, moans and cries in a desperate way and haunts you long after the song’s faded.
This is not an album aimed to please at first play, it grows on you, it challenges.

The second album “Bitter Tears” shows a more introverted side of Ella, the songs tend more towards ballads - but with a sting. The lyrics dive deep into the emotions that come with infatuation, saying goodbye, disappointment, grief and being empowered.
Again each song gets its own signature rhythm and texture. Ella composes some songs with Shinji Imai who has a wonderful sense for counter pointing when it’s needed and harmony when required. Michael Temple also contributes a solid beat and synth.
All 11 songs are gems. I couldn’t pick a favorite, but “Incurable” stands out for its obstinate, angry point. On the other end of the spectrum “I’m Just Dreaming” distinguishes itself by its intimacy and desperation.
Again this is an album that you’ll want to keep close to your CD-player because it has an array of moods, so you’ll find a song for every hour of the day to affirm you or shake you up.

I have played both albums over and over for the past 10 days, sometimes shuffling through both, and I can assure you: this is precious ore from an off-world planet, ready to be mined. You should of course be ready and willing to lift off and succumb to Ella Blame’s gravity.

...When I hear you sing, I think I hear what "magic" must sound like.
Your voice is ~~ simply |\/|ÃGì©. - Babs from Bellevue, Nebraska

The new songs you have up are amazing! Thank you for your voice.
- Troy L. Coots from Maryville, Missouri

[01 August 2008] ProgFiles Artist Spotlight and Review by Hande Burdg:

Ella Blame (Milwaukee, WI) was born into a family of musicians and was already singing when she was just 3 years old! Before she decided to become a singer, her biggest passion was painting (and it still is a big passion for her). At the age of 6 she started playing violin. She has an incredible vocal range: her voice covers the entire baritone, tenor and contralto ranges and exceeds the upper limit of the soprano range. She can produce sounds that are very similar to synthesizers, with no effects. Sometimes angelic, sometimes satanic, the many colors of her voice can be described as Billie Holiday meets Bjork and Loreena McKennit... yes these three names together sound very absurd, you just have to hear it for yourself.


Right from the first song "Cyberlover" you will feel like you entered a hidden territory where there is a lot to discover. As if you are listening to a modern day Billie Holiday, you’ll find that it is not just the well written lyrics and her voice that create this feeling but it is also her phrasing and intonations. The song "If I Could" is a very good example of that.

You will hear a fusion of many different genres in her music. It is sometimes psychedelic, sometimes trip-hop, sometimes pop and sometimes jazz.

When you are listening to her sing, you will often feel like you are listening to a choir with sopranos, mezzo-sopranos and contraltos. It is Ella all by herself producing those vocals, especially on "Incurable".

Her new CD "Bitter Tears" has 11 songs and each and everyone of them can easily be your most favorite one. Listening to Ella is like being in a big mansion, each song opens up the door to a different room... with different colors, different decorations, different time frames. By the time the CD is over you ask yourself "Where was I just now?" ... that is if you think you are back...

[23 July 2008] Review "Bitter Tears":

Absolutely thrilling - goes under the skin, touches something deep inside. Since I treated myself to Ella Blame’s brilliant voice and sound, I yearn for more of this... -  Chris from Vienna, Austria

[17 July 2008] Message on MySpace:

...I love your ethereal music, I come from years of Kate Bush worship. And I can't get over your skill also in Painting. Keep all sides of you working and exploring, you have a great balance happening. - Richard Alan Scott from Pascoag, Rhode Island

[14 July 2008] Message on MySpace:

So far, I have only left brief comments on your music. Having sated my ears with your work over the past hour I have to say I am completely overwhelmed by its creative reshaping of what music can be. Your voice and the intricacy of the musical backing defy my description. Mathematically your melodies slide sensuously over ever changing curved surfaces then suddenly reappear in a parallel universe - whether by change of key [or mode for all I know] or of genre.

You have transported me to another world of cybermusic - and all feels very good in that world - eerie, strange, yes, but warm and hopeful.

I do not usually offer such fulsome praise but felt I had to say this.

Wishing you huge success -- Tom Wood from United Kingdom

SPEECHLESS, THANK THE HP ABOVE FOR A KEYBOARD TO TYPE, CUZ IT RENDERED ME SPEECHLESS!... -- Trista from Sioux Falls, South Dakota

[04 July 2008] Song Comment ("A Thousand Kisses") on Mixposure:

This is wonderful. I love the hammered dulcimer in the intro. You have a very original style. The vocal treatment is so ethereal, it gave me goose bumps. The instrumentation is also great with the wonderful delicate use of percussion. - Phillip Hartley from England

[04 July 2008] Song Comment ("How Things Have Changed") on Mixposure:

Once again a superb vocal performance on another well crafted track. Love that sliding bass bubbling away in the background here. You arrangements are a joy to the ear. - Phillip Hartley from UK

Your voice is angelic, sublime and magical.. -- Catherine from Portland, Oregon

[23 June 2008] Comment about "Incurable" on iMusiScene:

I was excited to hear a "psychedelic song" with female vocals - don't regret that! Ella belongs to the most outstanding professional singers I've heard... indeed sensual & atmospheric and WHAT A RANGE!!! A little bit Toyah touch here, and sounds from the 21st century with an ambient feel. Beautiful drive, dreamy and gooood! -- Singularity

[21 June 2008] Comment on MySpace:

...I sense that you have a tremendous energy about you, an inner light that is pushing you towards new boundaries and concepts in your life & your music is playing a major part in this, your songs are totally original , beautifully painted on your song canvas with vivid colors of the sacred spectrum of life... -- Roy from United Kingdom

[19 June 2008] Review "Bitter Tears" by Wildy Haskell:

...Fans of free-form electronica and improvisation are going to eat this up; likewise fans of Kate Bush or other ethereal-voiced artists. The other comparison that comes to mind is Milla Jovovich, who has played around in similar musical genres and has a similarly unique voice. Give Ella Blame a listen. It will be hit or miss, but I promise you. If it hits you you'll be thanking me...

...inventive, interesting, musically unique and a mother of a voice!!! I will spread the word... -- Dave from Cape Town, South Africa

[10 June 2008] Message on MySpace:

I totally loved Bitter Tears and ordered your Ineffable Desire along with it and I cant believe I didnt hear before Three weeks ago. I really cant stop listening to them both, I take them to work with me everyday. I wondered what inspires you as songwriter and influences the music you listen to right now? I love the atmosphere undertones of emotion then free range you have that is so in tuned with the rest of you... -- Kasey from Ohio

[04 June 2008] Review "Bitter Tears":
I absolutely cannot say enough about this talented young lady and her new Album/CD. Bitter Tears is sexy, soulfully tasteful, bitterly sweet, playful and genius. I find myself 'transfixed' when listening to her voice. To put it in to two descriptive words: "Sadece güzel" (Simply beautiful). -- dj Rimzi (Lisa)

[04 June 2008] Comment on MySpace:

Ella, Ella, Ella...You have out done yourself. The newest album is pure brilliance. Do you do any touring? I would love to see you live. Thanks for another awesome album. JB from Owings Mills, Maryland

[03 June 2008] Comment on MySpace:

You have such a wildly interesting use of voice. So very carnivorous somehow! I have never heard anybody use theirs quite like you. The lowest register just vibrates the whole spine. It feels untamed, savage and damn good, please do keep it up! "Perfect Man" is one exquisite sound sculpture. -- Tim Chiavaroli from Floyds Knobs, Indiana

[01 June 2008] Comment on MySpace:

I love your music and your style. Excellent! You have such a hauntingly powerful and unique voice. I love your visual style too. The cover for Bitter Tears is stunning! Every good wish to you in your career... -- Ruby from United States

[07 May 2008] Crossfade Grimoire Review of "How Things Have Changed" and "Incurable":

 I'd like to begin this review by saying that, ..r inspection, the vocal and songwriting talent of Miss Ella is actually far more mainstream than I had previously thought. Her own particular soundscape is nothing less than elaborately-arranged pop and art song, sculpted into an exotic and pristine veneer that sometimes transcends either musical categorization. With that mouthful out of the way, these tracks made me re-evaluate "Ineffable Desire", her 2004 avant/pop album, and "Things" must surely be the masterpiece of that moody and exotic CD.
Using funky, phased-out electronica as a base, the track is both jazzy and spacy: kind of like seeing a Carmen McRae gig on Saturn. Ella's voice is nothing less than stunning, and if her style is occasionally still a little startling, what she lacks in convention she makes up for in invention. The tune also features an awesome improvisational section that is very rare in modern pop and in EDM. The psychedelic edge adds to the proceedings. Fan-fucking-tastic!


The lead-off track to her 2008 follow-up, "Bitter Tears", has crisper production and Ella's vocalising is much more assured. While not as jaw-droppingly weird vocally as the previous album, Ella is still not what you would call your everyday female vocalist; her range and collection of voices and characters is still amazing. The tune ends up sounding like a multi-dimensional 12-bar blues with a jazzy bridge and an experimental sophisticate's touch. Looking forward to hearing the album! -- Scott Mayfield from Oakdale, Connecticut

[07 May 2008] Comment on MySpace:

Just three words: Mysterious, Enchanting, Magical -- Tom from United Kingdom

[12 April 2008] Comment on MySpace:

There should be a warning label about how uncurably addictive your music is. I’m on here two or three times a day listening and drawing or painting. So soothing, and it strikes those nerves we ignore all too often, forcing an expressionless smile in the heart, like a new emotion, or a substitution for love or a new form of love. Thank you so much for being you. -- Troy L. Coots from Maryville, Missouri

[03 April 2008] Blog Comment about "Incurable" on MySpace:

ABSOLUTELY MESMORIZING. YOUR LYRICS, BUT YET THE MIX OF ELECTRONIC AND PERCUSSION MIXED LEAVES IT WITH ALMOST A INNERCHILD HOPE. FOR ME ANYWAY. YOU FOUND A RANGE IN YOUR VOICE THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD ALMOST A NEW, EVEN NOT IN ANY CURRENT KNOWN VOICE RANGE, LIKE A NEW AGE YOODLING. I CANNOT DESCRIBE IT. BUT IT PULLS YOU IN AND GRASPS YOUR SOUL. EXCELLENT WORK ELLA. -- Trista from Sioux Falls, South Dakota

[24 February 2008]: Review of debut CD "Ineffable Desire":

Imagine being lost...
inside of a cage you have created for yourself only within your mind...
There are times when no one or nothing can leak inside...
I have been blessed by a dear friend who has given me a gift in which I never expected...
the music of Ella Blame! Her music not only leaks into your mind, she INVADES it...leaving you saturated and mesmerized.
I find my words are inadequate
as listening to her voice removes one from reality
into this hypnotic and mystical realm
of so many emotions and thoughts we keep secret...
it's as if Ella has always known.
I hear traces of billie holiday and portishead,
but when she opens her mouth
the liquid sounds that escape create the most brilliant colours in your mind.
Never before have I heard anything so desirable and unique.
Ineffable Desire is the most haunting album I have heard in years.
It drips with passion and intensity.
I find myself unable to pick a favourite track off this album as they are all stunning.
'swamp of lead' is my current favourite.
Being impressed greatly by this album is an understatement.
-- Heather King from Ontario, Canada

[29 January 2008] Blog Comment on MySpace:

Ella Blame just kicks ass! Plain and simple. At this point I've run out of eloquence to describe her music- I'd ONLY be repeating myself. I did get multiple copies of her album "Ineffible Desire" through CD baby to give as gifts, after the one I'd gotten for myself was averaging 2 or 3 plays per day. Its so refreshing to hear such beautifully different songs- I won't say "odd" but maybe it would apply as long as we all agree that "odd" is GOOD! If anyone hasn't gotten her album yet I strongly suggest you DO! You'll love it. I love it, and we ALL have Ella to blame... -- Desmond Ambrose from Long Island, New York
