Apple Music Home Session: Ella Henderson

“For me lockdown in 2020 was a real eye-opener,” Ella Henderson tells Apple Music. “I soon realized that without life the way it was, music really was the only thing I had to turn to. It kept me sane, happy, and hopeful. Songwriting and being sat at the piano was my main form of therapy.” One such session brought about these two exclusive, intimate tracks that showcase the Lincolnshire singer’s voice beautifully. “These versions add a different flavor to the originals,” she says. “I wanted people to hear two great songs that we all know, but produced and performed in a way you might not have yet heard.”
First up, Henderson’s hit duet with Tom Grennan, “Let’s Go Home Together.” “This song has lived for a long time as I wrote it nearly five years ago with James Arthur,” she says. “We both knew at the time it was something unique and special. ‘Black Hole,’ meanwhile, is one of my favorite recent songs! I am a diehard Griff fan, and I just think this song is so different. I wanted to create a live version from home that felt raw but still vibey.”
