Once Upon A Passion is the debut album from Bella Boo, arriving on Studio Barnhus shortly after a
sprinkling of releases through the label that have quickly established the currently LA-based producer (and
longtime Stockholm dj hero) as one of dance music's most distinctive new voices.
Throughout its 9 tracks we are treated to a fascinating, wider-than-ever view of Bella's uniquely intimate and
personal world of sound. The album features vocal contributors Gnucci and Def Sound as well as Nils
Janson on trumpet and Axel Boman on acid bassline. Cover photo by Bozi Borbély Espinosa, artwork by
Alexandra Karpilovski. Once Upon A Passion is out on all formats and platforms November 1st, with digitalonly
single Can't Leave You Like This released September 13th.
"I made the album this spring during an intense creative period back home in Stockholm. I was obsessed
with my studio, I wanted to spend all my time awake there. I found out I was getting evicted from it, this
sudden chock turned into a decision to do this album. It made sense, like an "end of an era" thing. I was
pretty isolated back then, spending almost all my time outside of the studio with my daughter Bozi. She
snapped the cover photo while I was picking out records for a gig. I never wanted to leave the studio during
these months, but I realise now how the breaks with Bozi worked for the process - they gave me space to
reflect on the music I was making. That dynamic was exactly what I needed to finish this album." - Bella Boo
