"With a sound that combines gentle smooth beats with a hauntingly beautiful vocal to create a truly hypnotic sound which is full of attitude and confidence. Bell’s Roar is certainly someone that you should be keeping an eye on. While new track ‘Slow’ is a gentle and somewhat melancholic track which shows off Sean’s beautiful vocal." -ilovepie

"It’s a bright and delicate from the very first guitar strum, and this dreamy mix of guitars and vocal melodies are an exciting introduction to her new self-titled EP."  -The Music Minute

Step Up, Step Back

Multi instrumentalist Sean Desiree's debut EP Bells Roar is a forceful and sensitive collection of six beautiful and personal songs. Elements of loopy post-rock guitars, hip hop beats, and R and B vocals combine with an ease and minutia equity suited for the dance floor, living room, or headphones. If the talent Sean Desiree shows on this debut is any indication of what is to come we will be hearing a lot from her.  The vocals, guitar layering and synth-driven music beats are best described as synth-pop/post-rock/soul. The album also features Kiran Gandhi, MIA’s drummer for her Matangi tour.   The two singles off the album are "Slow" and "Step Up, Step Back."

Prove It On Me (Ma Rainey Cover)

I Know

Covered In Red

Ancestors

CHORUS
Hey baby
You've got all my love, my love
Hey baby
You've got all my love, my love

VERSE
You've taught me how to see myself
You carry us, we carry us
I'm your truth and you are mine
We carry us, this carries us

CHORUS

VERSE
I didn't know I needed your light
I let it in, I kept it in
When we've learned to love all that we've got
We can't be stopped, we can't be stopped

We Carry Us

If I'm able to love myself and stripe away negative thoughts, the trauma of racism, transphobia, and sexism...I can live in the message of this song. Living your best self comes from challenging you bigotry and pushing away the toxicity of others.

Celebrate

You Call me Cold

Dear Me

We Shape Love

Passing

Defiance

An appeal to our ancestors. I need their strength and wisdom in my darkest hour. This is an adaptation of a negro spiritual.

I'm Trouble

Fake Fantasy

Trapped in my anxiety. Taking the stage puts me in a conflicted state. In this track I try to marry my love for creating music with my dread of performing. I think I'm coming out on the other side.
