Murphy Moore – Ella Joy: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
Aotearoa New Zealand indie-country artist, Murphy Moore, is back with her first single since the release of her debut EP, Break, in 2024. Her new track, Ella Joy, is a playful, upbeat anthem inspired by a larger-than-life character who embodies both chaos and charm.
Here is the blurb with more:
Written about Murphy’s sister, a fun-loving, hopeless romantic with a heart too big for her own good, Ella Joy captures the spirit of a woman who is both a storm and sunshine. This indie-country tune celebrates flawed beauty and authenticity.
“Ella Joy is really a character study. I wanted to write about someone who is perfectly imperfect. She’s messy but magnetic, someone who can break your heart but also make you laugh until you cry,” says Moore. “She’s the type of person who leaves an imprint on everyone she meets, good and bad, and I wanted to capture that energy in a song.”
Produced in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and engineer Christian Tjandrawinata, Ella Joy builds slide guitars, harmonicas and playful percussion into a track that feels both tender and jubilant. The single was recorded with some of Tāmaki Makaurau’s top musicians at Roundhead Studios.
Following the intimate heartbreak of her debut EP project, Ella Joy shows a lighter, more whimsical side to Murphy Moore’s artistry. It’s a song that invites listeners to embrace their authenticity, and maybe even see themselves in the contradictions of the character at its heart.
Murphy Moore continues to carve out her place in the indie-country landscape, with Ella Joy marking a new chapter in her musical journey.
