Los Angeles vocalist Ofelia K picks up exactly where she left off on her cotton-candied debut single, 'White T-Shirt', with this new single, 'As A Bell'. There's all of the jaunty acoustic guitar plucks, off-kilter drums and fluffy chimes that featured on her last number, but 'As A Bell' stands apart thanks to its pure-pop climax, with Ofelia's sugared refrain, "There's not a reason why," gathering pace, faster and faster to the fade. If her debut song didn't already confirm that we have a very special new songwriting talent on our hands, this one hammers the point home. In a sweet way, of course. - DC
