Today, the buzzing London-based alt-pop project Belle Mt., fronted by songwriter/frontman Matt Belmont—shares a new version of their acclaimed single “Hollow” via Bee & El Records/Warner Records.
“Hollow” has taken on a life of its own since its independent release as “Hollow – Acoustic.” Thus far, it has gathered over 30 million total streams and counting. On the track, an acoustic guitar accompanies a stirring solo vocal before subtle keys and minimal orchestration echo. What begins as a pensive melody slowly builds into a sweeping refrain carried by Matt’s emotionally powerful delivery.
“‘Hollow’ is about love, loss, rebirth, and everything in between,” says Matt. “Like great artists that leave us too soon, some of the love stories that aren’t fated to last are remembered with their own timeless beauty and eternal youth. This one was inspired by the beginnings of a relationship that could have gone either way, neither of us were prepared for the weight of it or for the depths that needed to be reached in order to confront our demons and heal together. They say that if you come to fame without knowing yourself then the fame will define you and consume you, the same can apply to love.”
