SINGLE REVIEW: Bess - A Million Stars

Single Review
Written By Amy

Drawing inspiration from early 90s indie and perched on the brink of Britpop, 'A Million Stars' seamlessly fuses elements of jangle pop with the DIY ethos of indie music, creating an astounding guitar-driven sound and wonderfully melodic tunes.

The introspective lyrics delve into the concept of an artist leaving a lasting impact on people's hearts through their work, akin to painting a million stars, whether real or metaphorical. These stars symbolise the profound influence something seemingly one-dimensional can have on an individual.

'A Million Stars' exudes a calming and breezy vibe, featuring clean guitars that captivate with their bright chords and uplifting melodies. The bass flows smoothly alongside the beautifully rhythmic drums, breathing life into the mellow soundscape. The vocals are dreamy and beautiful, characterised by a velvety tone and a mesmerising, heartfelt delivery that conveys the lyrics with great eloquence and an enigmatic quality.

In summary, 'A Million Stars' is a testament to what Bess represents; a nostalgic and beautiful musical journey that resonates through its lyrics and majestic sound.
