New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Brii Elliss released her seven-song pop album "
Solitaire" on March 17th, 2023. Inspired by Elliss' experiences being single and dating, the name "Solitare" was fitting because solitaire is a game that is played alone. Elliss wants the album to spark empowerment, love, forgiveness and exploring the emotions that come with falling in and out of love. Each song is about a different experience Ellis had while dating.
"What You Do to Me" explores having feelings for the wrong person, who does not treat you right. Brii Elliss shares that "It's about wishing you could push those feelings away and ignore them because you know it isn't right, but still coming back for some reason. I've learned that sometimes the chase is exciting and fun but if love is what you're looking for, it won't end well." Similarly, the final song "Spades" is about a relationship that didn't work out. Written about a person that was so different from Ellis, they couldn't be a match. Despite this realization, the feelings were still there, so she was at an impasse and unsure of what to do. "I didn't want to end things because I really enjoyed spending time with him, but as time went on it felt like a decision had to be made and I knew it wouldn't become anything serious," says Ellis. Writing this song was a way for Brii Ellis to contemplate how to move forward.
