Ellise has saved the most visceral moment of ‘Bedroom Confessional’ for last. The official video for “Liplock” is out now, arriving as the final chapter of the EP’s visual saga, and it delivers exactly the chaotic, cathartic ending the project has been building toward.
The track itself pairs shimmering production with confessional lyricism that moves between vulnerability and temptation without ever fully resolving the tension. That’s the point. “Liplock” captures a late-night spiral where desire and contradiction occupy the same space, and the visual pushes that feeling to its limit, culminating in a fiery finale that lands with real force.
Ellise describes the concept directly: “It begins with me burning the remnants of the demons of my past and freeing myself. I wanted this video to feel fun, energetic, and like the perfect chaotic ending to this story. It represents how my mind felt when leaving everything I thought I knew behind and starting from scratch again: Scary, but exciting and fresh.”
‘Bedroom Confessional,’ created alongside Arthur Besna, JT Foley, Cici Ward, and Madi Yanofsky, is Ellise at her most sonically refined and emotionally unguarded. The project moves through obsession, heartbreak, and self-reckoning across 5 tracks of shadowy alt-pop, each one built around diaristic lyricism that feels genuinely lived-in. The Line of Best Fit noted she has “arrived fully formed with not only a consistent and cohesive sound but a striking visual identity.” Flaunt put it more simply: “If this is the first time you’re catching wind of Ellise, prepare to fall in love.”
The Iraqi-American LA-based artist broke through with “911” and has spent the years since building a devoted following through raw storytelling and a bold cinematic aesthetic. She recently completed Act I & II of her debut headline run, The PRETTY EVIL Tour, following support slots for Madison Beer and Bishop Briggs. With ‘Bedroom Confessional’ now complete, Ellise closes one chapter and opens another.
