Bella Boo - Once Upon A Passion (Studio Barnhus)

"Once Upon A Passion" is Bella Boo’s debut album and certainly marks her as a distinctive new voice in our current dance cosmos.

Made-up of nine tracks, the album gives testimony to a very intense creative period in Bella's live - spending every available minute in her studio from which she was to be evicted. An atmosphere of departure towards new horizons, an „end of an era“ thing.

The rear mirror view indeed stirs up feelings of melancholy, gently putting one's heart into a C-clamp. Herbert seems to lurk from behind the corner making sure the intimacy of Bella Boo’s sound does its working/wonders. Bits of Soul, Pop, and Jazz keep flirting with deep house bass lines and drum grooves. Chords from an extremely smooth Rhodes compete with synths so lush, they’re trying to wrap around themselves.

Albeit very delicate, „Once Upon A Passion“ is channels unbridled euphoria into real contentment.
