Ell is a Calgary native who's been gaining ground the past several years, thanks to her songs, voice, and guitar playing (she's been picking since age 8, can dish out some beefy rock riffs when she wants to, and is also a bit of a gearhead).

Now she's working her way onto the country charts, too, thanks to her new single, "Trippin' on Us." On Monday (Feb. 24), Ell released a video for the song.

The video was shot in a place that will resonate with fans of the TV show Nashville: it's the same Belle Meade mansion that Connie Britton rented during the show's first season.

As a song, "Trippin' On Us" is immediately catchy, which certainly helps break the ice - if it wasn't, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. But what makes it even more interesting is that its got a strong female point of view - something that has been a rarity lately in commercial country music. It's a song about new love (and/or lust) from a woman's point of view that feels deliberate and confident.
