From the UK comes the always amazing indie artist Bess Atwell and she arrives to us with a sweet dose of honest magic, courtesy of "Something Now". With this wonderful showcase of feelings and emotions she opens up her heart and soul and invites us to take a peek and see bits and pieces of ourselves in there. It's a song that embraces the good and the bad, the ups and downs, and all that lies in between these things because they are all part of the beauty of life.
"Something Now" does not try to push away all that is raw and human, but instead embraces everything, making sure our senses are hooked by it all from start to end. It's a captivating soundscape that understands that life is not as simple as many try to define it, a happiness does not need for the so called opposite to no exist. So listen closely and fall prey to the sweet magical caress of this hypnotizing must-listen gem. Enjoy!

"This track is a celebration of feeling, written in a moment of empowerment when I was tapering off antidepressants. I’m not anti-medication, but I realised I’d become frightened of my feelings and it signalled a change in me that I was prepared to feel a broader spectrum of emotion.
Opening myself up to emotional discomfort meant confronting beliefs I had developed to protect myself from it. At some point, probably at a very young age, I had decided that any suffering myself and my family had been through could be offset by becoming successful in my career. I could settle the score by turning pain into something beautiful and lucrative. Something Now challenges the childlike idealism of this belief, and explores how it was just another form of avoidance and unwillingness to feel. It champions the idea that pain doesn’t take away from joy, if anything it adds to it."
