St. Petersburg’s very own Ella Jet delves deep into the raw emotions of personal struggles with her latest single, sunshine and roses, offering listeners a poignant reflection on mental health and the complexities of human relationships.

The combination of gentle guitar strumming and Ella’s soft and soothing voice is comforting, guiding us through her personal journey. But as the song progresses, the tempo picks up, mirroring the tumultuous emotions that often accompany the realisation of a toxic relationship.

The lyrics are a candid exploration of self-worth, vulnerability, and the internal battles we often face. Lines like “Why do I always bring out the not good enough feeling in people?” resonate deeply, reflecting the universal struggle of seeking validation and acceptance. Yet, amidst the vulnerability, there’s a powerful assertion of self-worth and the importance of mental well-being. The chorus, with its poignant questions, challenges the listener to confront their own emotions and the expectations placed on them.

Ella’s personal narrative about the song adds another layer of depth. Her candid revelation about a toxic friendship and the pain of betrayal is both heartbreaking and empowering. The song emphasises the importance of self-care and the courage it takes to seek closure on one’s own terms.

Ella Jet, with her raw emotion and lyrics on sunshine and roses is both a balm for the wounded soul and a rallying cry for self-preservation.
