Bel finds new pop pathway on ‘Spectre’
Melbourne-based Bel brings lush, experimental production onto her latest single Spectre. Filled with moody synths and a regal, dignified Armenian flute, the songstress dives into her inventiveness, whilst keeping her appreciation for pop apparent through her tantalising vocal delivery.
Bel shares, “I wrote Spectre in order to metaphorically chronicle what it’s like to have an ominous presence circle and set foot in your emotional, physical or spiritual safe space. This could be anything or anyone from a previous partner, to your own inner-bully, and the effect that these unrelenting, negative and often intrusive shadows can have in your life. More so, it’s important that the listener recognises that she fights until the very end, to the very last second of the track.”
The singer expanded her vision for Spectre through the haunting and evocative music video. The accompanying visual demonstrates Bel’s commitment to challenging the tropes of the industry, and paving her own way past the conventional.
