Mark Elliott is quickly becoming the master of charming, effortless electro-pop. Since bursting onto the scene in April with his debut single dead end love affair, the UK crooner has snowballed into many a music library with his minimalist take on nu-soul. His latest offering, china doll, is more of the same from the singer-songwriter – and it’s certainly his best yet.
“china doll is about everything that goes unsaid at the very beginning of a relationship, and all the terrifying subtleties, ” he explains. “it’s kind of a slow-jam but with more insecurities – and less heavy breathing.”
