Jillian Ellis
From the Positive Message Music CD The Journey (2013)
Opening with a piano riff straight outta Ladytron, Cincinnati’s Jillian Ellis, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter, offers “I’m Climbing Up.” It’s a brisk, delicious pop-flavored inspirational song with crossover potential.
To a pulsing EDM backdrop, Jillian sings about the fearless and confident pursuit of one’s dreams in the face of obstacles. “To hang on me, you better get yourself some climbing gear,” she asserts boldly. No doubt.
This is a good track to drop into your mp3 player before you go out for a run or do some aerobic exercise.
