In a move that’s sure to ignite excitement among her growing fanbase, Pop/R&B sensation Maria Ellis is teasing her upcoming single "Conceited," set for release on November 1st. The track, which leads her forthcoming EP Ultrabaddie, promises to bring Ellis’ signature blend of boldness and introspection to new heights, offering a tantalizing glimpse into her ever-evolving sound and persona.
"Conceited" is shaping up to be an anthem of empowerment, capturing the confidence that Ellis has made her hallmark. In her typical style, she fuses infectious hooks with sleek, Y2K-inspired production, creating a sound that feels nostalgic yet refreshingly modern. Teasing snippets across her social media channels, Maria Ellis has already given fans a taste of the track’s attitude-filled lyrics: “I’m a bit conceited, loudest when I’m preaching, I mean it.” It’s a fearless embrace of self-worth and honesty that’s sure to resonate with listeners.
The accompanying music video, set to drop alongside the single, teases a visual landscape drenched in retro-futurism. In one scene, she appears on an old-school phone screen, adding a nostalgic touch, while other moments show her gracing the cover of a magazine—a clever nod to the pop stars of the early 2000s. It’s a perfect match for the track’s themes, showing Ellis not only as the artist but as the center of attention, confidently navigating her own spotlight.
A Berklee College of Music graduate, Maria Ellis has seen her star rise rapidly, thanks in part to her viral success on TikTok, where her original content has amassed over 5.7 million views. With over 1.8 million streams on Spotify and comparisons to powerhouse artists like Ariana Grande and Rihanna, Maria Ellis is teasing a release that feels like more than just another single—it’s a moment.
