Emerging UK based singer/songwriter Bellah blends her afro influence and soulful R&B melodies effortlessly together to gives as another look into the pages of her diary with an extraordinary Colors performance of her latest single ‘Evil Eye’.

British Nigerian Bellah, who has been recognised as the UK’s answer to some of the US’ biggest R&B stars, has graced the stage of the Colors Show to present us with an exclusive preview of ‘Evil Eye’. The track is a beautiful insight into her interpretation of the saying we are all familiar with and is often known to come hand in hand with growth and success.

The scene is set perfectly with a subtle ocean blue background and Bellah focused and ready in a calming baby blue ensemble of a cosy oversized sweatshirt and a pleated tennis skirt waiting for her cue to bless us with her smooth vocals and an opening line so powerful you’re already hooked within the first 15 seconds. 

The fusion of r&b melodies and Nigerian afro baselines compliment Bellah’s meaningful lyrics well. She’s captured her story and tells it beautifully and you can hear her influences so clearly, as she proudly incorporates her Nigerian heritage with a handful of Yoruba words combined with her north London sound. The groove and bass in ‘Evil Eye’ will have you grooving and dancing around the room while taking in her powerful and relatable lyrics, an amazing skill that Bellah has executed beautifully.

As we all wait for an official video for this fantastic single we can embrace and take inspiration from the finely crafted Colors Show performance of ‘Evil Eye’ in the meantime.
