Setting the tone with immersive drums and intricate guitar, Bel-la opens Nothing’s Gonna Get You Back with the situational lyrics, “I looked to the sky, all I see, is a shape in the clouds above me, I look to the night, all I see, is your face in the stars, shining down on me…“
The opus expands into an indie-pop meets soft-rock soundscape, filled with poetic nuance and meaningful lyricism, as Bel-la reminisces on her loss and shares memories and her emotions.
We appreciate the ethereal soundscape that Bel-la has created for the message, which is both relatable and transcendental. Speaking on the meaning of Nothing’s Gonna Get You Back, Bel-la confesses, “The inspiration for this song was really the sentiment of loss in general, loved ones passing, relationships ending etc and how even though these things are no longer in a physical form they still exist so strongly all around us and in our memories, and the fabric of our vast lives.”
Nothing’s Gonna Get You Back comes with a cinematic and celestial music video, which features an out of this world performance from the LA-based artist, and we are in awe of the visual and feel really connected to Bel-la‘s performance style.
We also learn that Bel-la finds much of her inspiration and songwriting ideas in dreams! Fans of Wolf Alice, Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent and Hope Sandoval will definitely enjoy Nothing’s Gonna Get You Back, although it is clear that Bel-la is creating a universe of her own.
We have added Nothing’s Gonna Get You Back to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate further releases from the rising star!
