“Heart beats wild with electricity; Waking sleeping parts of me”

Simultaneously ancient and modern is a tough thing to achieve in life let alone music…but Bella Mer has done it again. With the pure spirit of a classic voice from the 60s, her new single “Nothing Holding Me Back” rides a hopeful wave in this strange, current era. In a world where it’s popular to be drowned out in noise and excessive electronics, Bella Mer has taken that electricity and turned it into something ethereal. Electronic pop has found a sea of its own.

“I hear whispers riding on the breeze; Echoing the voice inside of me”

Indeed, her voice echoes through cave-like chambers as the story unfolds. The melancholy intonation of Lana Del Ray meets the strength in London Grammar to produce the siren that is Bella Mer. The production swims around her voice as it rises like a mermaid from the sea. The whole song is truly mystic and transfixing (just like her Instagram) but the chorus comes in like crashing waves, making you want to dance:

“Nothing’s holding me back, nothing’s holding me back…”

Bella Mer’s unique melody support hopeful lyrics, telling the story of an inner battle and the freedom of releasing it all: “‘Nothing Holding Me Back’ is a bit of a personal anthem as I continually face down chronic demons known as doubt and fear; a decree to the stars to give me the strength and faith to leap and keep on leaping into the perpetual unknown.”

“Count to three; Just release; Take the lead”

Named as an “ancient, fantasy muse,” Bella Mer’s music perfectly matches her aesthetic. Just watch her latest video on YouTube, ‘Loaded Gun’. Cutting-edge production, fearless storytelling, and a gorgeous voice make this emerging starlet one to watch in 2019.
