“Porcelain” is a beautifully crafted ode to a love that’s both tender and protective. The song offers a glimpse into a relationship grounded in small-town values, where a man’s love is evident in the subtle, often unnoticed details. His affection for her is delicate and fragile—like porcelain—despite his own imperfections and rugged demeanor. This balance between vulnerability and strength lies at the heart of the track, capturing the complexities of their bond. “Porcelain” is the first single release ahead of an exciting new project, set to be announced soon and will be accompanied by a brand-new music video.
“‘Porcelain’ feels like a new chapter for me, both personally and as an artist,” Belles shares. “This song is a celebration of growth, not just in my music, but in how I view relationships and myself. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it, and I think it marks the beginning of something new and special for my journey as an artist.”
“Porcelain” also marks a significant step in Belles’ evolution as an artist, showcasing her growth as both a songwriter and a storyteller. The song’s authenticity and lyrical depth serve as a testament to her evolution as a well-respected artist in country music. This track not only affirms her as a seasoned artist but also cements her ability to capture complex emotions in a way that resonates deeply with listeners.
Belles co-wrote “Porcelain” with Nell Maynard and Cassidy Best, while the track was brought to life by the talented producer Sam Grow. The release of “Porcelain” comes on the heels of Belles’ previous single release “Trust Issues” and recent launch for her “What in the Truck” music video which reached number 2 on CMT Music‘s 12-pack.
Hailing from Nebraska, Belles has been making waves in Nashville since 2018, captivating audiences with her heartfelt, witty storytelling. Her songs, co-written with some of the city’s top songwriters, have garnered over 70 million streams and views across all platforms. Belles has worked alongside renowned writers such as Reid Isbell (“The Kind of Love We Make”/Luke Combs, “Mr. Saturday Night”/Jon Pardi), Jenn Schott (“7500 OBO” and “Two Lanes of Freedom”/Tim McGraw), Heath Warren (“Rock and A Hard Place”/Bailey Zimmerman and “Something You Ain’t Ever Had”/Waterloo Revival), Johnny Gates (“Truck Girl”/Josh Ross, “Loretta Lynn”/Sam Grow, “Mess It Up”/Blake Wood) and Ned Cameron (Grammy-nominated writer and producer who has collaborated with artists including Kid Ink, Machine Gun Kelly, Wiz Khalifa, Sean Kingston and more), contributing to her growing reputation as a songwriter.
Belles’ music has been featured on CMT, Spotify’s Next from Nashville, New Music Friday Country, Fresh Finds Country, and Apple Music’s New In Country, Soundcheck, and What Would Dolly Do? playlists. CMT lauded her talent, stating, “Belles’ crystal-clear vocals and compelling delivery are displayed in ‘Man Outta Me,’ which verifies that she’s a promising new artist with a bright future ahead.” Belles’ journey in music is deeply influenced by her musical family. With her mother being a part of the successful sister pop/harmony group Mulberry Lane, Belles was surrounded by music from a young age. Her early experiences, including touring with her mother’s group and performing in a mother-daughter duo, laid the foundation for her solo career.
Belles has quickly established herself as a powerful voice in country music. Her recent global recording deal with Deluge Records Nashville and publishing agreement with Deluge Music mark a major career milestone. After wrapping her headlining Trust Issues Tour, Belles continues to build her presence, having shared the stage with artists like Miranda Lambert, Old Dominion, and Brett Eldredge, while growing her fan base nationwide.
