When Toronto-bred Melissa Bel met the love of her life at a wedding in Las Vegas, little did she know that it would mean uprooting her life forever. Her upcoming album Into The Light tells the story of how a girl from Canada followed her heart, and has now found herself based in rural Devon.
Filled with infectious beats and twinkling melodies, the album showcases Bel’s talent for writing emotive pop ballads, as well as her impassioned, powerful vocals. From the uptempo opener “Real Tonight” to catchy, heartfelt single “Stay Gone,” each track is strong in its lyrical storytelling and emotion-strewn sensibilities.
Inspired by legends such as Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, and with a sound reminiscent of pop songstresses such as Taylor Swift or Meghan Trainor, Melissa Bel has the ability to captivate with her infectious, heartwarming pop offerings.
Having now released six albums over the last three years and played live dates including Montreal’s Festiblues and supporting Matthew Good, Bel will surely be receiving widespread acclaim with the release of Into The Light.
Into The Light is out 4th November on Belhop Records.
