RADIO & REVIEWS
“Simply captivating. This alt-rock gem, mixed by the talented Melina Duterte (Jay Som), bursts forth with a powerful energy that combines raw emotion with surprising tenderness.”
“‘pink moon spring’ stylistically reminds me of Taylor Swift’s ‘Delicate’ with its fresh synth opening that gradually evolves into a grand, orchestral atmosphere.”
“Bringing a breath of fresh air to the alt-pop genre…For fans of Taylor Swift, Lorde, Muna, and main character energy.”
“pink moon spring belongs on every playlist; it ticks all the right boxes. It makes you see the world from a rose-colored perspective.”
“Vetiver is a personal and vulnerable journey, one that wraps you up in all its optimism and intensity.”

“A rush of reflection wrapped in brooding guitars and anthemic melodies.”
“This alt-pop confessional masterfully pairs deceptively aggressive instrumentation with intimate vocals… "["‘Sundance Kid’] is something beyond a breakup song—it’s a eulogy for a friendship.”
“[‘Gift’] is one of the most heartfelt, moving, genuine songs I’ve heard all year. Did I mention that I love it?”
“A masterclass in vulnerability…Belle Shea’s “Leah” is a raw, pulsating exploration of post-breakup emotions, blending gritty indie rock sensibilities with introspective lyricism.”
Belle Shea is the winner of American Songwriter’s May Flowers Promotion, and was one of the top 25 finalists for the magazine’s 2023 Song Contest.

“Poignant lyrics with uplifting, sunshine-in-a-bottle sounds.”
“In “Leah,” [she] takes a job at a “dive bar down off of Bowery and Bleeker,” while in Joni Mitchell’s 1976 “Song for Sharon,” Mitchell pays someone down on Bleeker street to light a candle for her love luck, ‘and 18 bucks went up in smoke.’”
