LA Music Review | Art, stories and advice
Remarkable and totally inspiring!

Philippines’ phenomenal New Gen actress and singer-songwriter Belle Mariano released her new album under Star Pop entitled “Somber.” The EP is a journey experiencing various stages of loss, but you’ll feel comforted with its mellow and pop sound.
“Somber” serves as Belle’s first offering from the two-part album. Mariano, Cesca, Trisha Denise, and Jeremy G wrote the tracks in the album, with Star Pop label head Rox Santos taking charge of production.
Belle is starting to make a mark in OPM, delivering remarkable songs that touch our core. She’s a great storyteller too!
With her angelic voice, she’s giving us a light, soothing, calming vibe like her idol Moira dela Torre that will make us want to listen to her album all day.
I’m lost in the ocean, but just hold on tight
Dive into this moment where it feels right
I know you’ve been holding your breath
When the tides come to rise
But under the waves is the quiet that I’ve tried to find

How do you move forward after a loss?
“Somber and Solemn” will take you to a place that will make you feel relaxed and comforted. It shares the journey of how one accepts mistakes as inevitable part of life and realizing life’s beauty during the lowest moments.

For every loss there’s an opportunity to grow. Heal at your own time. It’s a process. Lean to God for strength and guidance. Surround yourself with people who loves you.
