Ella Collier is a pop artist on the rise, stepping into her moment with her debut album Dangerous. Her music blends polished pop with real, unfiltered emotion, pulling from her own experiences as she chases her pop star dreams. There’s an honesty to her work that makes it hit deeper... it’s not just about the fantasy, it’s about everything it takes to get there.

In this episode, Ella and I get into the making of Dangerous, from the creative process to what was happening in her life while she was building the album. We also talk about her sobriety and how it’s shaped her as an artist and a person. It’s a really open, personal conversation between friends, and a deep dive into the stories behind the music.

Pre-Save Ella’s “DANGEROUS” Album out May 15th!

This week on Delulu with Ryan Lu, Ryan sits down with SLUSH PUPPY, an iconic producer-songwriter whose work spans from K-pop to internet pop moments you’ve been obsessed with. He get into working with CORTIS and why that experience felt “like the least K-pop thing” they’ve done—fully hands-on, collaborative, and creatively involved. He also talks about producing early records like “Fashion” and “What You Want,” the latter becoming the group’s first Spotify single, and what it means to actually build records from the ground up instead of just chasing placements.

The conversation dives into spontaneous, high-impact moments too like linking with Lara Raj from KATSEYE to create the “Gnarly” remix in a single night, turning a text into a finished record the team immediately loved. Ryan and his guest also unpack their close creative relationship with Snow Wife, from naming the project to organically building Bodyology II together, and the full-circle journey of meeting Magdalene and creating “DJesus,” which led to a year-long collaboration and even a Joshua Tree writing camp. It’s an inside look at building artist worlds, trusting creative chemistry, and why the best work happens when you go all in with the right people.

Ellise is back on the pod and it honestly feels like catching up with a friend who has a lot to say. We get into her delulu mindset (the good, the bad, the slightly unhinged), what being on tour actually felt like behind the scenes, and how all of it fed into her new EP Bedroom Confessional. It’s raw, it’s intimate, and it feels like flipping through her diary at 2am. She opens up about growth, spirals, and what it means to turn your real life into art without holding back.

We also get into the conversation everyone’s been having: the Melanie Martinez comparison allegations. Ellise addresses it head-on, clears the air, and talks about originality & her inspiration. It’s honest, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of episode you don’t want to miss! duh
