Elle Músa: sun, sun, sun
<p>- Where did Elle Músa spring from? Her cosmopolitan and grown-up brand of pop-exotica is the sort of sound that takes a long time to develop: listening to a lot of other music, gaining the kind of emotional depth you get by living. If the Sunny Coast local has been gathering that kind of experience it hasn’t been a public affair - this is the first I’ve heard of her. Or maybe it’s on me, because the author / artist / fashionista and musician has achieved a surprising amount in her twenty-something years.
