New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rising pop darling Bella Rios has released an acoustic version of her critically acclaimed break-up anthem "Ever After."
With fluttering guitars and Bella's dynamic voice, the lush acoustic rendition gives the single a new perspective while stripping it down to its emotional core. Leaving behind the original track's anger, the acoustic version focuses on Bella's newfound confidence post break up.
"I think that the new life that the acoustic version brings to this song, in particular, is a testament to how the same music can mean different things depending on your perspective, development, or growth," says Bella. "When I first wrote this song, I needed it to be an angry breakup anthem. I needed a song that I could scream in the car with my girlfriends before a night out. Where I am now, with how I've processed the situation, and internalized that experience, with the help of the song, 'Ever After' is now a cheeky, funny reminder to me of a newfound confidence which no longer depends on the state of any particular relationship I'm in. I think the vibe of the acoustic definitely reflects that evolved sentiment."
Written over the last couple years, Sincerely, finds Bella coming into her own as a young woman. The EP is an authentic collection of songs that sees Bella wrestle with the euphoria of love, crushing lows of heartbreak, and the vertigo-inducing peaks and valleys of mental health. From pop-punk inspired anthems to heart wrenching ballads, the tracks on Sincerely, are exceedingly fun to sing along with and are testament to Bella's growth as both an artist and a woman.
