Glistening Dark Pop: Bela Takes Chase – “Wonderlust”

Bela Takes Chase

“Wonderlust”

Bela Takes Chase, based in London, makes music that best can be described as dark electronic pop really unlike much of what’s out there now.  Bela Takes Chase has a voice that reminds this writer (you know who I am, loyal readers) of Kerli or Lykke Li.  Her sound is very accessible, yet is very original.  I really like her.  Bela Takes Chase has a very world, European sound, but her type of dark pop would be perfect to shake up the complacency of American/British pop.  Her music actually glistens in a dark way, if that is possible.  Bela Takes Chase built up her audience through Facebook and other social media.  The reason I site this is that Bela Takes Chase is making it on her own talent, not some music machine, and I super admire that.  Independent, dark, beautiful, what’s not to love!
