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 digital-only 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 Previous press about Bella Boo: ...one of the most promising new artists not only on Studio Barnhus, but in house music in general – Resident Advisor / ...the flat-out dreamiest thing to come from the label yet – Pitchfork / ...our favorite house 12" of the year so far – Gorilla Vs.
