Reviews and Comments

Following on from a killer run of vibrant singles last year including 'Bed', 'Kiss You' and 'Harmless Fun', which found support from BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders, Clara Amfo & Sian Eleri and BBC Introducing, Spotify's indie pop playlist (1.6 million followers), as well as online tastemakers The Line Of Best Fit, Earmilk, Beats Per Minute, Official Charts, When The Horn Blows, and Record of the Day, as well as her recent comeback offering 'Math', "awkward pop" pioneer Belot is back once again to announce the details behind her eagerly-awaited new EP 'Harmless Fun', showcased by the new single 'Fake Phone Calls'.

Bringing back more of that bright and energetic texture she just loves to explore, 'Fake Phone Calls' makes for the perfect accompaniment to highlight her upcoming EP. Filled with rich and flamboyant textures, and shimmering with her own insatiable persona, she is looking to break through with a fresh and unmistakable sound.

Speaking about the new track, she said, "'Fake phone calls' is an unfortunately true tale about when I almost physically ran into my ex whilst walking with my new partner. In order to do anything and everything to avoid the hellish interaction, I fumbled and pretended to be on the phone and of course my phone decided to ring at that very moment, so I panicked and crossed the road... She pretended she didn't see me and the whole thing was the stuff of nightmares."

While adding about her forthcoming EP, "The 'Harmless Fun EP' is essentially a diary of my early 20's. Falling out of love, breaking up, navigating single life and falling in love once more. Over the last year or so I've definitely been learning a lot about adulthood, friendships and relationships. It sounds rather bizarre but the pandemic, albeit horrific in many many ways, brought me closer to the people in my life."
