Out now on Dim Mak, Bella Renee’s five-track EP NOISE & THE THRILL is a striking evolution of the rising artist’s voice—an emotionally intense drum & bass offering that merges personal history with sonic precision.
Each track on NOISE & THE THRILL is a living memory—raw, introspective, and charged with motion. With this release, Bella Renee positions herself at the intersection of vulnerability and power, offering a sonic autobiography built on heartbreak, ambition, survival, and reflection.
“This EP is a collection of core memories,” Renee says. “How they impacted me emotionally, how I learned to respond to them. It’s a testament to human emotion, and I am baring myself on my sleeves in order to connect with my listeners in an intimate way.”
A Sonically Bold and Emotionally Layered Project
The project opens with “Till It Breaks,” a visceral expression of internal pressure. Jagged percussion and shadowy basslines wrap around a haunting vocal performance, setting the tone for the EP’s emotional terrain. It’s a track about limits—about how far we stretch ourselves before we shatter.
“My dad sings in the background of this song,” she reveals. “It’s the one that resonates with me the deepest.”
On “Jaded,” Renee explores the emotional cost of ambition, dissecting the tension between career focus and relational detachment. “It’s being avoidant in new connections caused by my hyperfocus in my career,” she says. “I shine light on the push and pull of how I feel navigating new connections.”
Confronting Doubt, Trauma, and Self-Reclamation
“Reverie” is a standout moment—a slow-burning reflection on resilience in an often unforgiving industry. Renee’s lyrics cut deep, balancing weariness with fire. “It is a response to everyone that has ever doubted me,” she says. “To myself whenever I feel like giving up. It is ugly, but it is a deep celestial light work.”
On “Mirage,” co-produced with Skellytn, Renee examines how trauma informs instinct—and how healing begins by resisting emotional reactivity. The track’s controlled intensity is deliberate: a display of restraint and clarity.
The EP closes with “Live Wire,” a stripped-back meditation on attachment and detachment. The clarity in her vocals suggests a deeper knowing—earned, not theorized.
“Sometimes when we haven’t healed, we attach ourselves to people or things who bring us a temporary life force energy,” Renee explains. “The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to detach. Nothing in this universe is permanent.”
More Than Music: A Statement of Identity and Growth
NOISE & THE THRILL isn’t just an EP—it’s a self-contained world of emotional processing, sonic catharsis, and artistic growth. From intricate production choices to intimate lyrical honesty, Bella Renee offers her audience a front-row seat into the complexity of becoming.
“Welcome to my brain,” she says. “The noise and the thrill of it all is the wisdom I’ve gained.”
With a U.S. tour now underway through late fall, Renee is set to bring this story to life on stage. The tour will provide fans with a deeper experience of the music—one rooted in connection, movement, and mutual healing.
