Ella Thompson's Triumph & Sadness blends classic sweet soul with deeply personal songwriting, exploring love, vulnerability and the need for human connection. Recorded live to tape at an all-analogue studio in rural Victoria, it captures the warmth and immediacy of vintage soul recordings.
Written with Liam McGorry (Temporary Blessings), featuring musicians from Surprise Chef and Karate Boogaloo, and mixed by Wayne Gordon (Daptone, The Womack Sisters), the album reflects Melbourne's thriving independent scene. Inspired by Renée Geyer, Nina Simone and Curtis Mayfield, songs including 'Promise To Keep' and 'Change of Heart' balance intimate reflection with hope, making Triumph & Sadness Thompson's most assured work to date.
