A bold new chapter beginning with standout tracks like “Ring on the Table”
(Nashville, Tennessee – August 19, 2025) – Country artist Belles has officially announced her highly anticipated self-titled EP, Belles, set for release on September 5. Produced by Sam Grow and Johnny Gates, Belles is a six-track collection that explores themes of love, heartbreak, resilience, and self-discovery, showcasing the emotional depth and range that have become trademarks of Belles’ songwriting. Pre-save Belles here.
“This EP feels like my introduction in the truest sense – six songs that capture exactly where I am right now as an artist and as a person, Belles shares. It’s a mix of strength, vulnerability, and a little bit of sass, rooted in classic country storytelling but with my own edge.”
From the vulnerable ballad “Porcelain” to the honky-tonk energy of “Crazy as Me,” the EP highlights Belles’ evolution as an artist and storyteller. The viral success of her recent single ‘Crazy As Me’ fueled major social growth and a 400% surge in streams [view here]. Focal track, “Ring on the Table,” offers a poignant, cinematic narrative that follows the rise and fall of a relationship through the recurring image of a ring left behind. It begins with a picture-perfect promise, complete with a dream home, a white dress, red roses, and the hope of building a family. Beneath the surface lies a darker truth of broken promises, hidden bruises, and the quiet despair of a woman holding onto hope for change. As the story unfolds, the arrival of a baby sparks new optimism, but addiction and recklessness only deepen the cracks. In the end, the once-idyllic life is reduced to an empty house, an unused cradle, and a ring abandoned, a symbol of love turned to survival.
