And the missing piece, a love song (and accompanying music video) is here.<\/h4>\n<p>&#13;\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n<p>The engaging, five-track EP includes the dreamy new track, \u2018Lavender\u2019, as well as earlier releases \u2018Sandman\u2019 and \u2018Killing Time\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>On new track \u2018Lavender\u2019, Elke\u2019s voice is as smooth as butter as she describes the love she has for her partner, and best friend, Liz Wilkinson. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d already recorded the first four songs over several months after my 18th birthday. I realised I hadn\u2019t yet written a love song, which felt kind of wild considering where I was at in life (I\u2019ve been songwriting since about 13),\u201d Elke says. \u201cI was invited to spend time away at a writing retreat with my mum, it was a pretty dreamy location, completely removed from any stress or distraction. Missing my partner and first love, It gave me the space to really sit in those feelings of gratitude.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWriting \u2018Lavender\u2019 felt natural \u2013 like it had been waiting for the right moment to arrive.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The self-directed video is washed in warmth and nature, with beautiful shots of Elke and her partner balancing on a rooftop and wandering the outdoors together. There\u2019s a bridge surrounded by trees, a flowing creek, plants in glass jars. . . And a galaxy of stars. It sets the scene for a gorgeous love story, and the track acts as the final puzzle piece of Elke\u2019s \u2018Lavender\u2019 EP. The video, like the song, feels like a warm embrace.<\/p>\n<p>FROOTY is thrilled to be premiering the video a day early. Enjoy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elke Louie - Lavender (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/58x-HpR8www?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe EP as a whole is definitely a sonic time capsule, the film clip for \u2018Lavender\u2019, the title track, presents the best visuals possible in my perspective to complement this, my first love song. I think it\u2019ll be something really special for us to look back on as we grow up. Even more special as my partner pretty much created it, we enjoyed shooting it together with our close friends helping out.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>And the locations aren\u2019t just places that happened to look beautiful on screen, either. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s centred around my partner and the places that mean something to us \u2013 locations tied to memories we\u2019ve already made together,\u201d Elke describes. <\/p>\n<p>Like most creative projects, shooting the music video for \u2018Lavender\u2019 didn\u2019t go off without a hitch. Shooting in nature means having faith in the conditions \u2013 and Elke and her partner weren\u2019t exactly lucky. . . But they made it work. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had some bad luck with the weather on the first two scheduled shoot days, pouring rain we hadn\u2019t accounted for as amateur filmmakers,\u201d Elke admits. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe deadline was getting closer and the weather wasn\u2019t great still, but we learnt the value in shooting all day in overcast conditions, and the failed rainy shoot days meant we had planned the shoot list better so it happened quickly.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, the moment Liz looks a bit wobbly on the roof wasn\u2019t fake!
