Recently I have been listening to an artist called Bella Kay. She has recently gotten really popular due to TikTok and Instagram I believe. I don’t like how TikTok especially effects the musical world. It helps the artists revenue I guess but it doesn’t help with building people’s personalities and knowledge about the musical world. I really like her song ‘The Sick’ but I didn’t really know who sang the song and I also didn’t know that it was the same singer who sings ‘Steady’ and ‘iloveitiloveitiloveit’. Those songs have become quite popular throughout the abyss that is social media. I wanted to talk a bit about some of her songs due to me doing a little deeper dive into her music. I really found some great songs of hers that haven’t hit the mainstream media yet that i thought I would talk about as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first song we need to talk about I think is the song i listened to first and then go from there. Son the first of Bella Kays songs that i listened to was called \u2018The Sick\u2019. It is a raw and emotional song much like her other songs. Her vocals itch your brain in a way that unlocks emotions and feelings. The Sick however when i first listened to it I wasn\u2019t aware it was sung by Bella Kay. It was just a trending song that i found a deep connection with. I didn\u2019t really research it like i should have but sometimes it\u2019s okay just to listen to music because you like it. I think that is the main reason for music to find connections to the songs. But it is a song about a toxic relationship, addiction, and the struggle of loving someone who is self-destructive. It is about a relationship where both people are toxic. The narrator is also almost reflecting on this horrible relationship and realizing it\u2019s bad but that she liked it because it was so toxic. It is an emotional ballad that really introduces Bella Kay\u2019s style in my opinion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next song i was introduced to was iloveitiloveitiloveit. The song is her most popular song on Spotify. It is also the same concept as the first song focusing on a toxic relationship. It is more so about the addictive, chaotic, and toxic cycle of dysfunctional relationships. It showcases how intense highs and lows feel and how easily addicting they are. The song also opens with lines about how being used gives her purpose if that gives you any idea of how the song feels. Her songs are quite unique and almost a bit depressing but I find them nice due to how the lyrics are beautifully written.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next song i am going to talk about is one of my favorite songs by her – Steady. It has gotten really popular but it as my first real encounter with Bella Kay. I liked the song so much i wanted to see who sung it and so i went and researched a bit and found that she also sang the two previous songs. This song spoke to me so much due to timing. I love when music is just so perfectly timed with your life when you find it. I feel that it resonates with my world right now but for a completely different meaning than what the song talks about but i wont get into that. The songs original meaning however is about the fear of falling in love, intense self doubt, and the struggle of personal self worth. I struggle with a lot of these things and so i believe that is why i like it s much but it also relates to an event that has been going on in my life. To me it sounds how that makes me feel in a way. I use music to decipher feelings a lot. It explores self-sabotage and just a number of other deeply felt emotions of many. That is why it is so popular. (Idk what that says about our society but yk\u2026) The main part of the song that has become so so s incredibly popular is toward the middle or end of the song (the bridge) where she sings \u201cI can\u2019t\u201d with the words \u201cI want it bad\u201d layered in the background. Her vocals add so much emotion to these lyrics that it doesn’t do them justice typing them out. It showcases the back and forth people who want to be in a relationship have when they want to be in love but are afraid to be in love at the same time. It shows how complex and complicated love can actually be due to it not always being an immediate feeling of reassurance. You can still love someone even though you are scared to fall in love and i think this song does a great job illustrating that and the feeling that go along with that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The last two songs aren\u2019t as popular but that\u2019s why i wanted to talk about the. She is an amazing artist and writer and i believe she doesn\u2019t just need to be TikTok famous. She don’t need to just be a fad. The songs \u2018Lonely\u2019 and \u2018Wonder wander\u2019 are two songs i found after my deep dive into Bella Kay as an artist. These are the two that stuck out to me the most when looking through her releases. Lonely captures how loneliness feels in my opinion. It really encapsulates the raw emotion and describes it to a tee. I wont go into too much detail because i think it is much better to listen to these two songs especially. And then \u2018Wonder Wander\u2019 is about navigating nostalgia ( I relate so sos so much to this and i think that\u2019s why it has such a big impact to me), and moving on from past relationships. It wouldn\u2019t\u2019t be a Bella Kay song if it wasn\u2019t about a gut wrenching relationship now would it?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I think if anything you should at least site to steady and wander wonder. Those songs i think really highlight her musical and lyrical ability. Anyways that\u2019s all \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
