BEL brings a cool, almost cinematic detachment to "Big City," a track that captures the particular loneliness of being swallowed by a place that does not know your name. The production has a glassy, nocturnal quality, synths hovering just above the rhythm section like neon reflecting off wet pavement. Her voice sits somewhere between spoken word and melody, and that ambiguity is exactly the point. One to watch.
