Words From the Artist: “Elle E is ending 2022 with the power anthem “Sugar Tits” that she says was “inspired by a girl I know who was beaten badly by her boyfriend”. “He used to stalk her after she left him but he forced her to stay and eventually she was too scared to leave. One day after being beaten really badly, she waited for him to get home after a night out. She was waiting for him and hit him over the head with a hard object. He was unconscious, she dragged him outside and put him in the car boot and drove to an open field in the middle of nowhere and left him there. He was fine but was terrified of her after that. She never heard from him again.”
