bella amor Throws it Back With “my first demo (weekend lover)”

Most artists want to keep the songs they created as teenagers hidden, because they cringe over the corny lyrics and emotions sitting so close to the surface. But most artists aren’t bella amor. She’s just released “my first demo (weekend lover)”, a beautiful song recorded while she was in high school.

“This song is one of the first demos I ever wrote in high school. It’s a really special one to me because it was one of the first songs I fully finished and was in love with. It’s about not wanting to be a part-time lover and not wanting to be someone who comes around at a call. I’m a big lover and this song is about wanting to share full love. The video is made up of fun memories from my time in school. This song feels real nostalgic and it felt right to have videos of little me having fun and being carefree.”

I love the way this track reveals what bella can do when she strips away a lot of the production. It really showcases her vocals and songwriting talent. I’ve liked her work in the past, but I really love this.

bella amor Drops Tinder-Inspired Bop, “does it get boring”

I’ve often said to my husband that I’m so glad we’re happily coupled up, because I’d hate to go back to the dating pool. We met online, but long before it was mainstream. While we had our challenges living on opposite sides of the world, it almost seems easier than trying to find a real connection online today. “Does it get boring,” the latest single from bella amor, provides another reminder that I’m super lucky to have the relationship I’m in. But this indie-pop song with edge is one hell of a tune!

“This song is about someone I met on Tinder and was seeing casually on and off,” bella explained. “They always complained about being single and never finding love but they were very self-destructive. They had people lining up at their feet and it made me question if it was boring doing the same old thing but longing for something else. And that’s how ‘does it get boring’ was created, out of a genuine curiosity.”

Bella amor will play The Lansdowne Hotel in Eora/Sydney on August 24. It’s a free gig, but you can RSVP via Moshtix.
