Bel Cobain - Am I Dumb

The Hackney born singer Bel Cobain returns to share her new single “Am I Dumb” via Brownwood Recordings. A confronting track that peers into Bel’s internal dialogue and feelings of self blame, her commanding yet mellifluous vocals glide effortlessly over a pacey and percussive instrumental lush with eerie, emotive texture. It speaks to the push and pull of a toxic situation, the cycle of leaving, learning and somehow always returning.

Speaking on the single, Bel shares:

"Am I Dumb is about questioning your own sanity. Inside a chaotic dynamic, there’s barely any time to stop and really evaluate what’s happening or make clear decisions. Over time, blatant disrespect begins to blur into grey vagueness, and everything starts to lose its shape, leaving me with one question: am I dumb for that? It’s one of the angrier tracks I’ve written, documenting the real madness of grief (or impending grief) in certain moments. It’s not the prettiest, but it’s brutally honest and that’s what’s most important for me in my art."
