My brand new RU-vid channel! → @ElleCordova New social handles: Instagram: / ellecordova Twitter: / ellerhymes TikTok: / elle.cordova Facebook will be updated too once they get their butts in gear over at Meta.
Here’s the link to the brand new baby RU-vid channel I just launched under my “real” name, Elle Cordova: www.youtube.com/@ElleCordova (more videos unspooling over there this week) This is the beginning of an exciting new era, and I’m so glad to have you along for the ride! As I said in my Instagram post about this name change, I’m still the same person I have always been, just with more of me in the frame. Cheers to new beginnings and continuations of the things we have already built together!
True story: learned about your work under your new name, saw this video, and ended up spending 2 weeks getting into Lana del Ray because I have poor attention to detail.
Elle, happy to know you in this configuration. On my 21st birthday, I got a 3 x 5 file card from my grandfather. He was a truly unique character and played a major role in how I choose to leive may life. Her is what the card said. ""Jeff: Wanted to send you a birthday card but forgot to pick one up so this will have. to do. On your 21st birthday, my advice to you is never be afraid to look another man in the eye and tell him the truth." That line of advice has proved its value over the years. Good luck Elle, and just keep telling us the truth.
Our old pal Shakespeare told us that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. He's right. Your music has been an absolute delight for me during the many years I've listened. I respect the fortitude it took to make this announcement and I'm impressed but not at all surprised at the grace and honesty with which you made your case. Thank you for the way that you have changed our world for the better with your music, your kindness, and your soul. Hope you embrace the next chapter, and continue to give us more of your beautiful, absolutely beautiful music. Thank you, Elle. It's a pleasure meeting you.
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Congrats on the start of this new chapter! It’s great to (re)meet you 😊 Coffee cheers! Beer cheers! Just cheers! 🎉
These comments are amazing. They reflect a powerful sense of love, warmth and appreciation. What drives this is not just outstanding musical and word talent but that you are a rock-solid source of good, smart, funny and consistently positive vibes. I can’t thank you and your fellow musicians enough for this.
You and your music inspire all of us to be authentic. We love your honesty. Music is such a powerful force and you use it so well. I would say "Be true to yourself" but you already are. I've followed you for years and never commented, but I just have to say: Thank you for being you. Best wishes in all you do.
@@maovslandlords9244 Explain to me how it’s courageous. Simply put, you can’t. Because it isn’t courageous. It’s a business decision. She wants her own name to be recognized for the work she’s put in. That has nothing to do with courage. Taking a bullet for someone is courageous. Changing a name isn’t.
@@BrandonWestfall- I know what you’re saying, and I can’t really judge whether it took courage or not, because I don’t know her - but courage comes in many forms. If there’s something you find a bit scary, but you do it anyway because you feel you have to - that to me is courage, whether it’s a business decision or a child taking their first steps.
So happy to see you be who you want to be and to create and share your incredible art on your terms in your way. Glad to celebrate you as Elle! Thank you for all you do.❤
Both are beautiful names, and the fact that you're courageous enough to tell us your true name that fits you means a lot, Elle! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Looking forward to the same great music!
Lovely to meet you Elle. 😊 My name is Darryl. Love the Sunday Mornings HQ material. You are all incredibly talented, and your collective work always makes me smile. The world needs more of what you do. 🙂
Happy to support you Elle! You are a talented musician, songwriter, poet and all-around great person. Thanks for letting us know more about you and your future plans. I wish you well. Nothing but respect for you, Toni and the gang!
You are who you are. I call this honest and authentic. Thanks for the kind consideration for your fans that might not understand this transition. Wishing YOU a continued, inspired, healthy, happy, and wondrous journey.
Chère Elle, nous soutenons tout à fait ta décision et te félicitons pour cette honnêteté ! Quel que soit ton nom, tu restes la même personne et nous t'apprécions pour l'artiste que tu es depuis toutes ces années. Nous continuons à te suivre, ensemble avec Toni. Vous êtes une formidable équipe et vous nous apportez beaucoup de plaisir avec votre musique! Que Dieu vous bénisse richement!
Elle, I discovered you three months ago and thus far I have posted at least that many of your videos and follow all of your various pages. I really truly adore you. Not from a pervy standpoint, bear in mind, just as a fellow nerdy wordsmith musician who appreciates outstanding and entertaining content. I love humans with those qualities. Keep doing what you do I absolutely love it!
Sunday mornings are my favorite part of the week. Seems like a good time to sub to the channels as they always seem to be in my suggested list. Thanks to Elle and Toni for all the great work. 👍
Names are important and a lot of people don't realize how much of our identity we carry with it until people don't call us by it. Its really awesome that you are introducing us to you El and look forward to the new songs
This is such a gentle and considerate video, so as to let people know and ease into it, in a tone that is spot on for Aspergers people like me. Keep doing great poetry and funny observations of the world around us!
Congratulations Elle! Your work is fantastic & you are free to call yourself any name you wish with no explanation needed. Your music and authentic personality (Toni too) is why we are all here! ❤ 🎼 🎵 🎶
Hi Elle, have been following you and Toni for a long time. It takes a lot of courage to do this and I applaud you for it and for taking back your identity. Wishing you both continued success! You're amazing and have brought me much joy over the years.
I've enjoyed your content for a long time. You and Toni are very talented, and you share a lot of happiness that our society badly needs. Thanks for all the great music!
This young lady is a great musician and entertainer no matter what name she chooses to call herself!!! I am looking forward to her new music and album. Much love for Tony too!!!
@@tryste_mx Ah you see, it's all in the eye of the beholder. If you are twenty or below (age) then she is getting-on a bit but to someone of my age, she is young. Young / old; tall / short are really relative terms depending on our own position in the scale. So he's right - and so are you. For the record, she is aged about 35 (2003) I believe, so if there is an absolute scale in human longevity, I suppose she is early middle-age but she's young to me and old to you and always will be. All the best.
As a Boomer I’ve been so impressed by your work, as well as the others, and have enjoyed listening to you immensely. I’ve followed you for a while and knew somehow Rena Del Cid wasn’t your real name. It goes without saying I will continue to follow you by whatever name you go by. Thanks for all you do and best of luck with your future endeavors ❤
Whatever name you use, you will always be one of the cleverest lyricists I've come across. So pleased to hear you say that you're still writing with Toni - one of the most talented musicians I've come across. 🤓
You introduced yourself to me 5 yrs ago when you sang “I never drank whiskey till I met you.” It was affirmed when I saw you & Toni sitting on the railroad tracks singing Jambalaya when something happened that couldn’t be took back. Your poetry is sweet and your love is deep. All the best in life to you both. God bless you!
I always thought it was your title. You'll always be a queen to me. You have given us so much wonder over the years and you and Toni will always be loved.
Thanks so much for everything you do, you've brought a lot of joy into my life with your music, and your beautifully genuine spirit. Lovely to meet you Elle :D
Nicely done!! And what a beatiful name it is as well. This is a big change and you've shown a tremendous amount of courage and forsite. I think your timing is great, the longer you do the beautiful things you do, the harder it would be to make such a huge change. And also good for you for both keeping your personal life out of the spotlight and deciding on your own terms when to make the change! Bravo Zulu
Been listening for quite a while. I knew it was a 'stage name' but heck you just do you and I'll keep listening/watching. You Toni and the other favorites make up a HUGE part of my playlist. Nice to meet you Elle! (Hope I spelled that right)
Just be you. I love your talent and authenticity. You and the excellent people you collaborate with seem like completely genuine folks and it shows in your music.
Your screen name was cool. I understand needing anonymity to feel safer on the internet. But Rochelle is one of the prettiest names and I think it fits you perfectly. Enjoying the intellectual innuendos of all your new poetry
I'm happy for you that you feel comfortable sharing your real name with all of us. Keep on doing what you have done all along, you have such talent and creativity!
You will always have a special place in my heart . I just love all your originals and covers and i have really enjoyed all the space poetry and nerdy raps. Siri and alexa is my top favourite. Looking forward the video tomorrow.
Elle, found you as Elle via your comedy. Can't express how much I appreciate your and Toni and friends authenticity, musicality, and humanity. I consider myself lucky to have found this. Look forward to listening to your journey. Thank you.
I recently just discovered you, your channels, and your music an love all of it. Really enjoy the ideas you come up with and music you make. Please keep up the great work!
Thankyou for the update Elle. I would have been unhappy losing track of your various postings, individual and collaborative, which always bring a smile to my day. Cheers, John!
All the best, dear Elle. Respect and appreciation for changing your name! I love and enjoy your music videos and your work with Toni and your other friends!
I am glad you have grown so much. You should be your own person. I wish you much success with your new name, ElleCordove. Please keep the new songs, poetry, and your joy of music coming.
Thanks Elle. I’ve been following you and the crew for years. You are all awesome. I’m still on board for whatever you decide to post. It’s always great. Keep on rockin
Elle, I discovered you as Elle and love your creative talent as a poet and I’m further enriched by your singing past and present. Thanks for all you do. You are a true creative genius! 😍😍❤️❤️😀😀
In these days when so many people on social media use pseudonyms it’s good to see someone going the other way. Well done Elle, and best wishes from Cornwall, England for this next chapter in your musical career!
Never let anyone make you feel ashamed of yourself. You are who you are. And, in this case.....a talented, beautiful young woman who makes people happy and proud.
First, thanks for all the great stuff you produce - and congrats for your success. I knew that Reine del Cid was probably a stage name and it didn't make much difference one way or another to me. I am glad you feel comfortable embracing you. Looking forward to your next chapter.
I have enjoyed this channel for several years and watched you and Toni grow. You are both so talented and have touched the hearts of many. It makes sense that you wanted to start using your original name. I also think it is wonderful that you have changed the name of the channel to Sunday Mornings HQ.
I don't watch or comment as much as I once did, but I've been around since early days, happy to see you continue and accomplishing all you have, and I wish you all the best of luck. Following the new channel now too.
I’m glad you’re getting more comfortable. I know when I have left you a message it felt odd calling you Reina as I knew that wasn’t your actual name, but I was afraid of being too bold by calling you by your real name. This solves that dilemma:) looking forward to everything you do Elle ❤
Wishing you all the best in your next adventure Elle! I've always enjoyed listening and following your Reina channel and will continue to support you! Much Aloha!
I’ve been following for a few years now. I like what you & all your very talented associates have been doing. You’re growing. That’s good. I’ll keep following you all as you’re well worth it! Good luck, peace, joy, & clarity….
It's funny you mention the more "nerdy" content to come, because.... I'm not an expert in your work but I've been a casual. regular, and greatful consumer of your music online, often sharing with friends, etc. But somehow...and maybe it's b/c I'm back on Instagram and your space poetry vids have made their way into my feed, it's only recently that I became aware of that output. And JUST LAST WEEK, I said to a couple of friends: "Remember the artist whose songs I've shared a bunch of times...(Don't Think Twice' was a popular one)? Turns out they are a hardcore space and Star Trek nerd!" We all love it. So, congrats, and looking forward to what's to come..
So happy you continue to share your talents with us, no matter what name your channel, performance or persona is; that said, thank you for explaining so simply why it’s changed. Lastly, yay Elle!❤
Funny thing I just discovered you guys and have sat here and watched the last 5 months of videos and never heard ur other name, I like them both and love you guys ❤ thanks
Thank you for sharing! Very sweet and touching, and so personal, as with so much that comes out in this channel. And best wishes with the new endeavors - doing original work is what is needed to go to the next level. Live long and prosper, may the force be with you!
I am so happy for you to be you and I will continue to follow you because of who you are personally. I honestly thought that Reina was the band name. BTW, my mother’s maiden name is Cordova. Congratulations on feeling comfortable with being authentically you. We celebrate YOU.
Very nice to meet you ( again but for the first time) Elle I really enjoy your music and videos congratulations on your new level of growth and being comfortable with sharing more of you looking forward to more of your creations! 🎸🎼🎤
Hello I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love ❤and peace all over the world🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer Graham Bolt from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?💙
Happy for you, Elle! Glad to follow! As many have said, it's your talent, fun presentation style, and all-around positivity that have drawn us here. Excited to see what is yet to come. (FYI, audio gain on this video seems to dip at around 3:08. Just FYI.) May your future ventures be richly blessed!
Congratulations Elle. This is a moving video. It seems you have experienced an enlightenment experience. And your Pulsar Timing Array was the first I had heard of you. Your grasp and expression gravitated me to being a follower and fan.
