Out on July 3 on Dim Mak, Bella Renee’s NOISE & THE THRILL EP, delivers five Drum & Bass tracks led by “Till It Breaks,” with fierce vocals, crisp percussion, and a gritty bassline. More than just a sonic experience, the EP is a raw, unfiltered journey through the emotional core of the rising artist’s life, each track a snapshot of pivotal moments, hard truths, and deep introspection.
Bella opens up; “This EP is a collection of core memories, how they impacted me emotionally, how I learned to respond to them,” Bella shares. “It’s a testament to human emotion, and I am baring myself on my sleeves in order to connect with my listeners and fans in an intimate way.”
The opening track,“Till It Breaks,” explores the pain of internal and external strain, an aching meditation on boundaries and emotional breaking points. Bella shares; “It’s a reminder that if we push ourselves far enough, we do break. ‘How far can we bend this before it breaks?’ is a reflection towards my inner self... My dad sings in the background of this song and it’s the one that really resonates with me the deepest.”
“Jaded”, the previously released single off the EP, navigates the complex relationship between ambition and isolation. Bella describes it as “being avoidant in new connections caused by my hyperfocus in my career... I shine light on the push and pull of how I feel navigating new connections.”
“Reverie” is a potent reflection on Bella’s music career. It is a darker, more spiritual track that captures both the disillusionment and drive of working in the industry. “It is a response to everyone that has ever doubted me... to myself whenever I feel like giving up... It is ugly, but it is a deep celestial light work.”
“Mirage” challenges trauma-born emotional reflexes, spotlighting Bella’s growth in emotional intelligence and restraint. “It’s about seeing through people and holding off on the emotional reactivity responses formed through trauma and life experience.”
Rounding out the project is “Live Wire,” a track that unpacks anxious attachment and the illusion of connection. “Sometimes when we haven’t healed... we attach ourselves to people or things who bring us a temporary life force energy. The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to detach... Nothing in this universe is permanent.”
NOISE & THE THRILL is Bella Renee’s most personal and resonant work to date, a fearless blend of electronic production and poetic self-inquiry. “Welcome to my brain,” she says. “The noise & the thrill of it all is the wisdom I’ve gained.”
