Originally from Long Beach, California (near Los Angeles), Ellisa Sun was raised with a love and passion for music stemming from her mother who was always playing music in the kitchen – R&B/Soul, folk, and bossa nova. Recognizing that she had the skills and ability to write songs, in her younger years starting by journaling and writing poems, but being shy, she didn’t entertain the idea of writing songs and performing until her early twenties.
The Nashville-based Singer/Songwriter shares her latest offering, “Stupid Little Things,” the third single from her forthcoming album. Crafted from real-life experience and raw emotion, this song and the production are simple and sweet, yet poignant. It is conversational and highly relatable; written to a past love and reflecting the universal feelings experienced from breaking up with a loved one, and thinking about all those little things you miss about that person and the relationship. “Stupid Little Things” is both compelling and vibey. It features Sun’s angelic, textured, and uniquely transparent vocals alongside her signature harmonies. This song perfectly blends the musical genres of R&B, soul, jazz, and the relaxed sound of bossa nova. ‘Stupid Little Things’ was co-written with Emily Ronna and Nik Lizcano, and was co-produced with Conner Gehlert. It was featured on Radio SoBro’s NuMu Friday upon release.
“I wrote “Stupid Little Things” in the summer of 2021, after the hardest breakup of my life. It’s about missing those small moments with someone who was not just your partner, but your best friend,” reflects Sun. “I wrote this song with one of my closest friends, singer/songwriter, Emily Ronna, and producer Nik Lizcano, both in Nashville. I brought them the basic bones of the song, and they helped me add more lyrics to each repeating chorus, making the story build in each chorus. The collaboration aspect of the song brought it to life and helped so much with the storytelling. I love co-writing, and the community-oriented vibes in Nashville are my favorite!”
