Rising country music artist, Bella Mackenzie, releases ‘ There Must Be A Fire’ the first single from an exciting new era.
Described as a song about betrayal and following one’s intuition, ‘There Must Be A Fire’ finds Bella writing with more self-confidence and authenticity than ever before. ‘ this era is me in my most real and confident state. Entering my 21st year of life this year, I decided to only write what was real to me and ‘There Must Be A Fire’ is no exception. To me, this song is the definition of ‘trust your gut’. I wrote this song based off the saying ‘Where there’s smoke, there’s fire’ and in this case, the fire is the other woman.”
With its modern edge and Bella’s remarkable talent at the forefront, ‘There Must Be A Fire’ was co-written with Grammy and CMA nominee Parker Welling (Thomas Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini), Grammy Award winner and CMA nominee Josh Kerr (Keith Urban, Morgan Wallen) and Golden Guitar nominee Jacky McCormack, who also produced the smoky country rock single.
Shares Bella ,“I wrote this with hugely accomplished songwriters Josh Kerr, Parker Welling & Jacky McCormack so it was bound to be a hard hitting song lyrically. I can’t give too much away but this track is just the tip of what’s to come…”
