Emerging pop queen Ariel Bellvalaire shares an excellent single about fame and expectation titled ‘Satellite’

The newest single from Ariel Bellvalaire – who is a guitaring virtuoso and globetrotting live performer – is a beautiful slice of pop-rock, which focuses on what it means to be famous and bear the weight of public expectation.

Pop artist Ariel Bellvalaire has recently released her new single ‘Satellite’, as she continues to build on a successful start to 2024.

For those who haven’t yet encountered her blistering brand of pop and rock music, Ariel’s story of success is over a decade in the making. The artist was first noticed by music fans and the music industry around 10 years ago when she gave a show-stopping performance on Broadway as part of a special tribute show to Prince. Like the artist she was emulating, Ariel had some incredible, effortlessly cool guitar abilities (which she had been honing from a very young age).

From Broadway, Ariel has been on an electrifying rollercoaster ever since. She has been the face and musical centerpiece of several national ad campaigns in the States, including an iconic KFC campaign where she performed alongside country music legend Reba McEntire. After this, she was noted for touring the globe as the go-to guitarist for the likes of Debbie Gibson and the award-winning Drag The Musical – one of the most celebrated live events in the world. Ariel has also maintained her music credentials by having performed as part of “Drag The Musical” featuring Joey McIntyre of New Kids On The Block and many of the Ru Paul Drag Race contestants, toured on guitar with pop icon Debbie Gibson, and many more.

From 2020 onwards, Ariel began recording and releasing her own music, paving the way for herself to be considered a rapidly rising solo artist. Her work has been praised for its ability to “wow fans with guitar-driven songs, backed by catchy pop melodies and captivating personal charisma.” She has been compared with many pop and rock artists over the years but seems to stand unique from them all. Her unshakeable energy, her live persona, and her innate understanding of the intricacies of making pop songs and rock songs have made her an original.

Ariel’s latest track, ‘Satellite,’ is a look at the other side of success for an artist. The song is about working your hardest to deliver something important but then feeling smothered by knowing that everyone now has expectations of you – watching you from a distance like satellites in the sky. It is a glorious, raucous, open-ended song, which seems to speak to the journey Ariel has been on over the last few years – her “electrifying rollercoaster” that’s still just getting started on its launch track….

‘Satellite’ is released as Ariel continues to make hints about the release of her long-awaited debut album. She is also set to release her third single of the year, ‘Sharks In The Water’, in mid-May

‘Satellite’ is out now across all streaming platforms, while ‘Sharks In The Water’ will be released on May 17. Ariel also has a new EP out now, which is currently streaming exclusively on her website.
