Resident in the Czech Republic, singer/songwriter Mary Elle has just released her new single, “Movie Ticket.” The stunning single is full of emotion and tells the story of finding the light at the end of the tunnel in the trenches of grief. Despite its grim narrative, sonically the track shines bright with an uplifting, motivational and liberating sound. Mary Elle explains the reasoning behind this juxtaposition, sharing, “It relates to the narrative and how while it was painful to let this person go, it was necessary for them to find a sense of freedom and discover that they are the main character of their own story, not someone else’s.”

Co-written with musician and producer Gregory Darling, “Movie Ticket” was originally released in 2014. Now, ten years later, it’s obvious that it was worth the wait. Having perfected the soulful, poignant lyrics and graceful, sophisticated instrumentation, “Movie Ticket” is a beautiful blend of soft piano and shimmering synths. Mary Elle’s haunting vocals will stay deep in your head as she sings, “And I know you’re coming too late, but this time I think it’s fate, you’re not coming back here, now I’m standing in my tears.”

“Movie Ticket” is the second single from Mary Elle’s upcoming EP, set to drop later this year. Combining vulnerability with resilience, this track is sure to resonate with listeners as Mary Elle sends an encouraging message that we can find healing and self-discovery through life’s biggest hurdles.
