The go-get-em confidence of ‘Wild Thing’ is the perfect nexus of country authenticity, hook-driven modern production and the powerful pride and self-confidence she wants to inspire in her audience. “I want to make music that pumps people up when they listen to it as much as it pumps me up when I sing it”, she says. “I want to look out from a festival stage and see thousands of fists in the air, but I also want the little girls, like I once was, listening on their headphones and feeling strong and like they can do anything they set their mind to." Determined to capture the energy and dynamism of her live shows on record, Bella headed to the Central Coast with her bandleader: multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jacky McCormack. With the trust and creative mind-meld earned from years of touring, the recording process was a free-flowing exchange of ideas and they landed on a sound both organic and progressive. From the sizzling fiddle and guitar that kicks off the title track to sultry outlaw tale Georgia, the swaggering kiss-off of lead single Cowboy and beyond, Wild Thing is a blazing declaration of empowerment and self-worth. Each song is a cascade of lyrical and instrumental earworms, all built around Bella’s powerful vocals, which can blow the roof off or grace the ear with stunning intimacy from song to song.
