"I believe artists like Adey Bell are increasingly rare in our modern world.

She doesn’t aspire to widespread pop fame. Chart position or mainstream exposure does not define her worth. Bell looks to inspire. There’s an underlying spiritual purpose in her work that overrides crass entertainment considerations. It is a purpose that doesn’t hinge on doctrine or dogma. Bell believes in the magic of human possibility.

Human possibility given aural form is the core of her new release Venus Exalted Vol. 2 – Tribute to the Dearly Departed. It upends the listener’s typical notions of what tributes to the recently departed entail. It isn’t a downcast effort. Exaltation precludes despair. I hear this EP’s three songs as existing more in the vein of divine utterance rather than bleak elegy."
