Furthermore, while conversing about her current mood board for music, Ellie shared, "I love listening to classical music. I found that it gets my creative mode switched on. I also keep looking back at the pop music of the early 80s and the late 90s. like looking back at Madonna’s earlier career, listening to Bjork’s early music. It gets to the point where you can keep listening to new music and keep an eye on everything that is happening in the popular culture lately, but then I also kind of have got to go back in time a bit and just kind of take a glance at past trends, which is a bit of fun."
