Ella Collier Unleashes “FIEND”: A Bold Dive Into Obsessive Love With a Hyperpop Edge
After years of grinding in Los Angeles’ independent music scene, singer-songwriter Ella Collier steps into the spotlight with FIEND, a track that boldly embraces the intoxicating nature of obsessive love. With hyperpop-inspired sounds and lyrics that hit like a punch to the gut, Ella Collier’s latest release is as provocative as it is addictive.
“I’ve always been interested in the intensity of a soul-tie type of love. Whether it’s toxic or not, I have a deep desire for a love that’s soul-crushing and exciting—a love that literally shoots me into the ether. ‘FIEND’ is the embodiment of that fantasy; it’s the song I’ve always wanted to make. We had so much fun building this world; I hope you have a blast celebrating your deepest, weirdest desires with me.”
FIEND is the first single from her upcoming album DANGEROUS, a 12-track project meticulously crafted over two years. The release plan includes a steady stream of singles paired with high-quality visuals, ensuring a constant buzz across digital platforms.
The song was co-written by Ella Collier alongside longtime collaborator Sam Vendig, as well as Maize and Andre Samuel. It opens with a striking verse that perfectly sets the tone:
Crash my insides
Like you want to open up my third eye
Get you love blind
But the hot kind
Like if you don’t get it then you might die
