Bel Gives Us Another Taste Of Her Trilogy With “Spectre”

It's only March and BEL is truly making 2020 her year. After the release of her first single “Better Than Me” in January, BEL is here to give us another taste of her trilogy with “Spectre”. Marrying the dark pop and experimental realms, this track is set to catapult BEL to the forefront of Australia’s female pop ranks, and solidifies our high expectations of a whole new body of work set for release this year. “Spectre” is a fearless and defiant return from an artist always on the cutting edge of sound and visual artistry.

BEL takes us to an addictively sensual soundscape infused with worldly and woozy synths, an R’n’B-esque groove, and Bel’s signature sultry and powerful vocal delivery. By fusing world music influences such as the Armenian flute, with an unmistakably memorable pop melody this track once again shows us BEL is in her own lane in the pop scene that the other girls will be wanting to get in on.

“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,” said Bel.

The music video for “Spectre” saw BEL travel to the US and work with creative director for BANKS and Chance The Rapper. The work speaks for itself; and it is absolutely stunning, BEL’s unique hands on approach can be seen in every detail and shot. This art-house meets fashion film exemplifies BEL’s unique visual artistry and intense introspection, making comments on the demanding and often falsified nature of the fashion and music industries.

After this second taste, I cannot wait to bite into the final course of this meal.
