Ellis has released her new Bedroom Covers collection, which sees her cover songs by Taylor Swift, Dinosaur Jr. and more.

Bedroom Covers is Ellis' first release since her debut album Born Again landed in April.

The three-track release sees the Canadian musician cover Taylor Swift's "Lover", Dinosaur Jr.'s "I Got Lost", and The Used's "Buried Myself Alive".

Linnea Siggelkow, aka Ellis, says of her covers collection, "I haven’t been feeling very inspired to write lately. The world is feeling equally chaotic and slow, my mind feels very strange, so I have focused on learning other people’s songs and it’s been sort of a nice break."

She adds, "I wanted to cover songs by artists that have influenced me musically and as a songwriter. I love Taylor Swift’s to-the-point lyricism about her feelings, the relatability of her songs. Dinosaur Jr. is just such a cool band and J Mascis is one of my favourite guitarists. I’ve been practicing a lot more than I usually do, working on scales and trying to improve my technical skill - I want to be able to shred like J! And The Used was such a huge band for me growing up, Bert McCracken writes perfect emo songs that have stood the test of time."

Ellis' Bedroom Covers collection is out now.
