Independent rising singer-songwriter Bella Cutts sings about the beautiful and delicate different perspectives of love and relationships, revealing to the world what it is like to be living in the modern dating world, especially in her new second single ‘Curious‘.
Following on from her first-ever debut single ‘Run Like A Child‘, Bella continues to explore the complexities of the dating world in a digital society, writing with emotion and honesty about the overthinking and questioning of trying to find the right one through a river of bad types.
Compared to the slow, moving ballad of ‘Run Like A Child‘, inside her second single, Bella focuses on trying to find a real, intimate connection with someone, wondering what it is like to be in a relationship where the person is actually interested in you instead of faking it or not showing their true emotions. ‘Curious‘ is a bittersweet single containing an upbeat, laidback melody featuring the angelic vocals of Bella, heartedly singing about finding a real connection in the chaotic dating world.
While the alternative pop track crafts a cheerful sound to listen to, the meaning of the poignant lyrics blends in the bittersweet story of the anxiety and curiosity about whether people are honest and loyal with you, a resonant experience we can all relate to as we swipe left to right on dating apps. Bella puts the raw emotion and truthful realities at the forefront of her song, creating another track which will speak to other people listening to her song. Not only do the lyrics create an important impact on the track, but the soothing yet strong vocals of Bella also ground it with more touching emotions.
“Unlike many of my friendships, which are built on wanting to know everything about each other, I’ve sometimes looked back on relationships and wondered why someone would say ‘I love you’ when they never really got to know me. It’s also about curiosity. It’s such a shame not to be curious about the world and the extraordinary people we’re all surrounded by. Being truly curious is an active decision. It is dedication. It is an act of love. The best relationships take time and effort, but we often favour quick intimacy over building these meaningful connections.”
