Happy Wednesday! Your Happens.vip Alternative Artist Discovery Of The Week is Ella Red. She says, “‘I Like You Best’ is definitely one of my bolder songs and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support and love everyone has shown it. I knew I wanted to write a song about sex from the woman’s perspective, and not in a gross or over-sharing way but in style that was still true to me and my relationship.” Big thanks to Justin Mauriello for VIP Access.
