Serena Ittoo, a singer-songwriter from Enfield, UK, uses her music to explore and express the emotions we all experience in our daily lives. Her emphasis on authenticity highlights the importance of embracing our unique selves, both in her music and in her interactions with others.
Following her debut release, “Nature Foreseen”, Ittoo is now unveiling her latest single “So Blue”. The conception of the song encompasses the idea that less is more and stems from a conversation Ittoo had with a friend who reminded her that sometimes simplicity within songwriting can deliver a more impactful and profound message.
“So Blue” is a receptive and emotive conversational song that narrates the story of one person expressing their true feelings to another, what they have heard, as well as opening up about their deepest fears of not knowing whether this person will ever proudly reciprocate their love and allow their pure connection to blossom. Sonically, the soul pop track emits a strong jazz essence, with ambiguous lyrics that nod to the ambiguity in the connection due to a lot of unspoken feelings between the two people.
Her commitment to her craft has opened doors to amazing opportunities, such as writing and performing an original song at Sir Paul McCartney’s childhood home. Serena has also collaborated with renowned songwriters like Grammy winner Gary Nicholson and multi-award-winning Jeff Cohen in Texas. Ittoo has garnered acclaim from the likes of Earmilk, Atwood Magazine and Record of the Day, as well as having featured on numerous podcasts.
