Bel Cobain returns with new single ‘Am I Dumb’. New single ‘Am I Dumb’ may lean in to her soulful prowess, but the barbed words – and incisive vocal – present an artist who can scarcely keep her emotions inside. Out now via Brownswood Recordings, ‘Am I Dumb’ is all jagged edges and sharp about-turns, with Bel chipping away the smooth edges of her sound to reveal the raw emotions underneath. 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.
