Dropping the ultimate anthemic track of springtime, Bessie lends her dreamy melodies to the bright and shining “Hollywood”. Opening with her signature honey suckled soundscape, the track gives way to a delicate flow as the artist sings of the disillusionment that follows a wishful dreamer and their first experience with Hollywood. As the sparkling production breaths into an ethereal chorus, the track evokes a similar feel to that of a rolling credit scene at the end of a childhood-favourite movie — where resolution is reached, and peace is found.
Speaking on her track, Bessie explains, “This chorus was inspired by my anxieties about people listening to my first single and fearing their judgement. I also wanted to incorporate the perceived pressures of Hollywood and how fake it can look at times. It seems like it revolves around the fanciest cars and the biggest names, you know, that’s not somewhere that I’d like to live.”
