Lindsay Ell finds the strength to become her own woman in the video for “wAnt me back,” imagining an alternate musical universe.
In the video, Ell is part of a fictional duo called Eddie and Ell — which is a play off the classic pop duo Sonny and Cher. Early on she’s shy and plays second fiddle to her male counterpart, but soon discovers a drive to become something more. All about self-worth and self-confidence, the glamorous clip sends a powerful message … especially to young girls.
“Am so proud of the music video for #wAntmeback,” Ell wrote on Instagram. “We wanted this to tell a story. A story of stepping into your own power and not forgetting to see your own light. As the story of Sonny & Cher…..you’ll see the story of Eddie & Ell. We worked really hard on this one.”
Linsday Ell co-wrote “wAnt me back” with Kane Brown, Matt McGinn and Lindsay Rimes, and it appears on her second album, heart theory. She recently opened up about being a survivor of sexual abuse, and ever since has been working to empower fans to love themselves, and overcome their own obstacles.
