Spreading joy is what singer/songwriter Ellis Delaney (formerly known as “Ellis”) does best, and it permeates throughout her new album Ordinary Love. Celebrating the beauty in everyday living, the album couldn’t come at a better time. Even amidst COVID19, loss, climate change and gun violence, Ellis finds joy and meaning from family, community connection and ordinary life.

Spreading joy is what singer/songwriter Ellis Delaney (formerly known as “Ellis”) does best, and it permeates throughout her new album Ordinary Love. Celebrating the beauty in everyday living, the album couldn’t come at a better time. Even amidst illness, loss, climate change and gun violence, Ellis finds joy and meaning from family, community connection and ordinary life.
Says Ellis, “My hope for this record is that it both inspires a lighter heart while also expressing and connecting to the gravity of this moment in our human history. Can we greet our lives, each other, and even the news every day with ordinary love?"
The answer is a resounding yes. Recorded at Wild Sound Studio in Minneapolis and engineered by Steve Kaul, the album was a labor of love, bringing together friends and musicians from the Twin Cities community that Ellis has been such an integral part of for the last 20 years.
Sounding anything but ordinary, this album is both timeless and timely--it is the music we need now, more than ever.
“This is no ordinary time. But I believe there is an abundance of ordinary, everyday love.”
