Rock/Review BERENICE - Little Red Heart

BERENICE's music takes influences from pop, rock, and country to create what she refers to as spaghetti western pop. BERENICE has previously been supported by Bold Journey, Canvas Rebel, and Riverside Radio, as well as performed at venues such as The O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Old Blue Last, and Camden Assembly.

A teenage musician with a distinctive voice and original musical vision, Berenice is introduced with her strong and moving debut single, "Little Red Heart." With pop, rock, and country influences combined to create what Berenice aptly calls "Spaghetti Western Pop," the song, written at barely 17 years old, demonstrates her early aptitude for highly resonant words and melodies.

"Little Red Heart" enthralls with its eerie and dramatic mood right away. A depressing guitar riff that establishes the mood and conjures up visions of wide-open spaces and the unfiltered feelings they evoke before the song's first bars. Berenice's vocals rise as the song goes on, projecting a mix of strength and tenderness that reverberates throughout. Her voice, full of impressionable youth, captivates listeners and gives the words a sense of intimacy and global relatability.

While "Little Red Heart" has a professional production, it still has an organic feel to it, which lets the song's depth of emotion come through. The song has a unique and new sound because of the way pop hooks, the energy of rock, and the narrative heritage of country music are combined. With its expansive sounds and stirring lyrics that evoke a sense of both adventure and melancholy, the song feels especially fitting for the title "Spaghetti Western Pop."

With "Little Red Heart," Berenice shows off her ability and abundant content. It's a gripping introduction to her as an artist. The song "Little Red Heart" not only launches Berenice's musical career but also suggests that she may have a bright future full of inventive genre-bending and compelling narrative.
