Jasi Bella’s releases keep on coming, and the persistent quality of music, words, and intention make her appear as an increasingly convincing candidate for wide-reaching stardom, a thing she is undoubtedly approaching.
Swedish in origin, Jasi Bella operates from London. A singer and songwriter whose sound on her latest release ‘Places I Can’t Go’ comes drenched in stylings from the 80s. For starters, the lack of bass is a quirky move that lends the solidly rhythmic song a breezy, floating feel that matches the soaring synth sounds.
Her handling of a breakup in a tongue-in-cheek manner, talking about all the places that she can’t go to because of all the memories, is a fitting portrayal of Jasi Bella’s ABBA influence. The music itself is perfectly disco 80s. with a familiar-sounding chord structure, a punchy drum machine beat, and a litany of colorful synths laying down a litany of melodic lines, all in support of Bella’s piercing vocal delivery, making for a wholesome mix that feels fulfilling and sounds engaging, despite the bold lack of bass.
Jasi Bella’s ‘Places I Can’t Go’ is a punchy piece of colorful pop from a reliably enjoyable singer. A song that adequately paints a modernized picture of the 80s, ‘Places I can’t Go’ is a faithful reimagining of one of Jasi Bella’s favorite eras.
