Lindsay Ell and Nightly release “i shouldn’t call you,” an evocative song about heartache and self-love, now streaming via Universal Music Canada.
Lindsay Ell explores love, loss, and self-discovery on her new single, “i shouldn’t call you”, a collaboration with Nightly, out now via Universal Music Canada. The track follows the release of her acclaimed EP love myself, continuing her journey of artistic growth.
Co-written by Ell and Nightly, and co-produced by Ell and Doug Schadt, the song begins with minimal instrumentation and raw vocals, then builds into a soaring, cathartic release, led by driving percussion and an electrifying guitar solo.
Discussing the song’s significance, Ell explains:
“‘i shouldn’t call you’ is the perfect follow-up to love myself, because when you start to love yourself, you can see what you are worthy of and the things that don’t fit become clearer. I wrote this song to be the soundtrack for the honest struggle of coming to terms with realizing someone doesn’t fit in your life anymore.” – Lindsay Ell
Currently, Ell is balancing her solo work with her role as the lead guitarist for Shania Twain’s residency and tour, while preparing for her own album release later in 2025.
