It’s been a while since Breaking More Waves has featured a potentially
chart-bound pop musician on these pages. Recently the focus has been on louder,
edgier alternative acts or left of centre singer songwriter types. So, let’s
address that right now by waving hello to Bellah Mae who says of herself: “I
overshare my life in all my songs and then let the world listen, so welcome to
the Hot Ex Girlfriends Club”.
With a couple of singles under her belt, Bellah (short for
Isabella) is already showing lots of promise as a potential hit maker. First
there was break up jam Boyfriend Of The Year (a pop tune with a slightly U.S rock
attitude and the only one where you’ll probably hear the mention of carbonara
of in the lyrics) and then the follow up, the Drama King, which finds Bellah singing to her
slightly pathetic and obsessive boyfriend: “You follow Instagram models, one
after the other, but god forbid I follow back my best friends brother.”
Whilst they’re both bops a deeper perspective on what Bellah
is probably about can be heard on a different version of Boyfriend of the Year titled
the (Sadder) version. Here there’s a nod to Taylor Swift in its style. Just like
Taylor Bellah has a bit of a country background, having done some ground-work in
Nashville when she was just 17 before signing a record deal.
If you’re a fan of
Taylor, Olivia Rodrigo or Miley Cyrus you’ll find a lot to like here. As with virtually
everything featured on these pages it’s early days, but I’m certainly not
betting against Bellah Mae right now.
