Bella Stine has just released her latest EP i know you're awake which chronicles the different phases of letting go of someone who was once important in your life. The highlighted track off the EP is the dark pop single "amputate" which has been shared with an accompanying music video.
"amputate" is a song all about the dragging pain of being in a relationship with someone who is indirect and passive, especially surrounding their own needs. Leaving the entanglement is the correct thing to do and with her new single Bella Stine writes about freeing oneself from this emotional imprisonment. Lyrics including, "just gotta amputate / the dead weight / every fiber of my being is saying getaway / waiting for you / is a slow and painful death," show just how emotionally charged and intense this relationship has become and how the singer knows she needs to leave it for her own well being. Musically, "amputate" features dark electronic pop beats, moody synths and soulful and expressive vocals for an intriguing and irresistable listen. The music video, directed by Ivanna Jackson, features Bella in a dark room with a red light highlighting the strings she is entangled in. This is a metaphor for the romantic attachment she is trying to free herself from.
Bella Stine is an exciting alt pop artist on the rise. Inspired by powerful artists including Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers, the teen chronicles her own autobiographical experiences in her music in a similar raw and vulnerable way. Check out "amputate" now and remember to free yourself from anything that doesn't serve you.
