"Sell out warning! A HUGE treat here! Neo-soul earworms for fans of Erika de Casier-esque daydreamer bedroom lulls or Cleo Sol’s gorgeous R&B twirls: East London’s Bel Cobain is surely one of the most exciting names bubbling up through the neo-soul / jazz continuum. You won’t catch her in this kinda intimate setting again, cos those big festival stages are calling!"

Nick Bodywork from Erratic Batting says:
"Listening to Bel’s songs feels equally familiar as it does fresh and progressive. I found myself revisiting noughties Bonobo, just to remind myself where this sound seemed to begin - and how it’s moved through Little Dragon to Sault and now, emphatically, to Bel Cobain.
The Gilles Peterson/Brownswood influence on her new album Kizzy is profound, and it feels like we’re now watching the next steps of an artist becoming the one she is destined to be. Bristol gets to enjoy this, support her in our small way, and be part of this journey.
And what an honour that is!"

- Bel Cobain -
Bel's music transcends conventional boundaries, carving a niche with her radical ethos and poetic lyricism. Her artistry is embedded with a sense of purpose, challenging societal norms and political ideologies with every lyric penned.
Accompanied by her eclectic ensemble, Bel’s performances are a testament to her relationship with music, with each member contributing to the collective synergy.
Having graced Madia Vale Stage for Gilles Peterson, she signed to Brownswood to release her highly anticipated debut album 'Kizzy', cementing her place as one of the most exciting artists of her generation.
In the tapestry of contemporary music, Bel Cobain stands as a beacon of authenticity. She channels the spirit of her influences while forging a path uniquely her own. Bel’s music transcends time and space, inviting listeners into introspection and wonder.
