The keen reader will likely be aware of America’s next pop sensation, Vella. Based in Los Angeles, the talented creative has enjoyed a great deal of success in the past few years, slowly blooming into a musical powerhouse. Today, she boasts thousands of followers on social media and millions of streams on Spotify alone. Of course, numbers are just numbers, yet Vella backs them up with some brilliant records, the latest of them being ‘Dance Without You’, an absolutely euphoric, liberating anthem, a slice of disco-funk that’s both nostalgic and contemporary at the same time.
‘Dance Without You’ follows up on last year’s album ‘All My Love’, tracing a line through soulful influences and disco grooves. In that sense, Vella gracefully bathes in a finely delivered retro allure, a trend that’s been apparent for quite a while, at least in the mainstream pop circles. Focusing on the new single, we should probably report how infectious and hypnotic the listening experience is: apart from its potent, kinetic production, the song is also bound to motivate anyone struggling in the romantic department.
You see, ‘Dance Without You’ particularly thrives in its unapologetic character, as Vella grapples with a past toxic relationship, a situation that left her emotionally drained and out of sync with herself, if you will. Now she’s made peace with her own truth again, and she’s more confident and positive than ever. That’s also what her vocals communicate, here delivered with striking lusciousness and hard-hitting dynamism.
