Bella Taylor Smith, Australian vocal powerhouse and most recently crowned winner of The Voice Australia for 2021, today announces the release of breathtaking new single, ‘Look Me In The Eyes’ – set for release on April 22 and available to pre-order now.
Crystalline and intimate, endlessly supple and warm, Bella Taylor Smith’s extraordinary voice has become one of the most identifiable new sounds on the Australian airwaves in a remarkably short space of time. On ‘Look Me In the Eyes’, the immersive title track of her third EP, it’s layered like clouds to create her deepest embrace yet.
“I wrote Look Me In The Eyes about my partner [and producer/ co-writer] Josh Cole; about how much I love him,” the acoustic-soul balladeer from Sydney confides. “We’d never had an argument before, actually, when I wrote it, and I just felt like I needed to write something about what my response would be in a position of difficulty. This is me singing to the person that I love and reassuring them that in conflict, I will still love them, and everything will OK.”

Growing from the alt-folk influence of Angus & Julia Stone and the Audreys to the soulful ilk of Yebba, H.E.R. and Adele, Bella forged her identity as a vocalist and songwriter over two EPs in 2021. The independent Tell Me How You Really Feel? preceded her debut with EMI Australia, The Complete Collection. Bella’s first single, Higher, charted in the ARIA Top 40 last September.
Come January, the empowering statement of self-reliance Nice To Know Ya was a bold step forward for Bella. It’s one of six songs comprising Look Me In The Eyes, an EP that mines more deeply the terrain of the heart. “Half of the songs are about being in love,” she says, “and half of them are about an experience of broken trust.”

Sealed by the renowned studio expertise of co-producer Scott Horscroft (Ocean Alley, Sarah Blasko, Olympia, Vera Blue), Look Me In The Eyes is an assured and enveloping experience from one of our most skilled and focused new voices.
“I’m really passionate about music being intentional,” Bella says, “writing words that create a safe space for people to come to their own conclusions and for music to be something that is therapeutic and allows healthy processing. “I hope people from all walks of life will find a place to heal, grieve and think about what’s going on in their lives when they listen to these songs and find a warm, welcoming and safe space of vulnerability and honesty.”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
