Single Review: Ariel Bellvalaire Shares New Single ‘Til The Clock Strikes’ ahead of upcoming EP
Ariel Bellvalaire proves why she might genuinely ascend to the throne as a Pop Queen in 2024, thanks to her new single ‘Til The Clock Strikes.’ The song has been shared as Ariel also gets set to release her latest EP in March of this year.
LA-based music artist and virtuoso guitarist Ariel Bellvalaire has released her new single, ‘Til The Clock Strikes,’ and she is also teasing the release of her upcoming EP.
Ariel has made a lot of waves in the last decade – adding many strings to her bow and becoming something of a lowkey national icon – but all of her most significant accomplishments link back to her singularly brilliant guitar-playing abilities.
In terms of her foray into the music world, Ariel’s first big gig was a performance on Broadway in 2014, where she played guitar in New York City for an acclaimed special tribute show to Prince. After this, Ariel moved to Los Angeles, where she was booked for lead roles playing guitar in commercials such as GMC. She also landed a role as the face of KIA’s iconic national 2016 campaign, appearing as the electric guitar-playing hamster, before becoming the guitarist in the national commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken alongside country star Reba McEntire.
Ariel then took part in several prominent international tours, including performing as a guitarist for the likes of “I Am King” – The Michael Jackson Experience, the Guns N’ Roses tribute band Paradise Kitty, and Drag The Musical (featuring many of the contestants on Ru Paul’s Drag Race). She was also the guitarist for renowned singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson.
While all those achievements might be incredible for any musician, since 2020, Ariel has been pushing the envelope further, plotting out her solo career.
2024 will likely be her biggest year yet, with Ariel having released her widely acclaimed single ‘Til The Clock Strikes’ – as sure a pop hit as you’re likely to hear anywhere. She will also be releasing her long-awaited debut EP just after ‘Til The Clock Strikes’ is shared.
Speaking about what the near future holds, Ariel has said that those who want to get their hands on her EP before anyone else can donate to her through her mailing list – and the funds raised will go towards Ariel’s ambitious music videos. For those who haven’t followed her work, Ariel took the world by storm with her first music video – for her single ‘Elastic’ – where she performed over-the-top stunts while playing guitar. The video was featured in Guitar World Magazine, securing her status as one of the most brilliantly innovative showwomen.
Ariel said: “I’ll also be releasing my entire EP for donations the week after ‘Til The Clock Strikes’ is released on streaming platforms. Through my email list, I’ll privately sell it for fans to buy so we can raise more money for music videos!”
