You’d be hard pressed to look beyond a sixties influence on ‘Bella’, I mean I closed my eyes and it felt like the Monkees had been reborn. And that is a boon to my ears as I’ve always had a soft spot for that combo. ‘Bella’ is top to tail full of psychedelic intention but more important it is stuffed to the gills with melodic intent – the kind that sounds like it has been with us before but comes with the kind of varnish that gives it full credence in 2025. Joyful stuff. KH
