Single of the Week: By The Way - Lindsay Ell

‘Doo doo da doo doo doo, doo doo da doo doo doo’

If you’ve heard Lindsay Ell’s new single, By The Way, you’ll be fighting a losing battle to NOT have those words above playing in your head right now. If you haven’t heard it yet, the link to buy the single is down below and I strongly encourage that you click it.

UK fans are fairly familiar with upcoming the singer-songwriter and (very!) talented guitarist. Lindsay toured with The Band Perry on their Pioneer tour over here in late 2013 before she came over here for a few dates of her own, and also with a certain Mr Luke Bryan, earlier this year. She is still to produce a full length album but what she’s offered us already – a five track self-titled EP and, of course, this new single – are strong signs of a very promising career in the not too distant future. And with the slow but steady resurgence of ladies in country music, it seems like her time is finally and deservedly coming.

By The Way is catchy and it’ll be stuck in your head after your first listen. It’s a little bit poppy but it is most definitely country and country fans are lucky to have an artist like Lindsay. Her ever-growing fanbase can attest to how humble she is, not only taking the time at shows to meet fans or tweet them on Twitter, but she also periscopes mini-concerts or guitar lessons online almost every week. Her name is becoming bigger and bigger but she is still clearly down to earth. Plus, she’s also a wicked guitar player and has the sweetest purple guitar that is pretty much alone worth the cost of a ticket to go and see in person.

With a new single and an album on the way, it hopefully won’t be long before we ‘doo doo da doo doo’ along with her on these shores.
