BELLZZ FAR AWAY

‘Far Away’ is the unsettling new single from newcomer, Bellzz. It’s a tender track at times, with swirling guitars and a delicate sonic palette engaging with her emotive voice. But at others, it bursts to life with a cinematic bent defined by chaotic samples and industrial touches that make the whole thing linger in your mind with unease. “This one is about wanting to escape, and wanting to prove to people that you can make something of yourself,” she explains. “But it’s also about Elizabeth reaching out to me; about how she no longer has a voice and wants to speak through me to tell her story.” Elizabeth is a character invented by Bellzz to guide the listener through the tale of Burtonesque horror and whimsy that is her upcoming debut EP, Dear Elizabeth. -Dan Peeke
