The magic of Bella White’s Americana and bluegrass mixture lies in her voice, the slight hitch and hiccup in her yearning drawl that bleeds with a visceral ache. 2020 debut LP Just Like Leaving quickly earned her a deal with roots name-maker Rounder Records as the Calgary-born artist leaned into the Appalachian legacy of her father, while 2023’s Among Other Things soaked in songs of heartache and leaving home. White’s songs seem forever reaching for a deeper wisdom, in a reverie infused with distant longing as on her freshly released single “Little Things.” – Doug Freeman
