Twitter is the worst platform for sharing music. For copyright reasons, I’m limited largely to reposting clips people have already shared.
So, this is a hodge-podge of a thread... and it won’t do justice to the artist... but this is Bella White.
1/
We get hung up on genres. We should just listen to music without worrying about what box it fits into.
Bella White is a poignant singer-songwriter. Her songs feel timeless.
2/
Her album, Just Like Leaving, is music for wide-plank floors and country inns and breakfasts of homemade preserves on warm toast.

The first time I persuaded Bella to play a short livestream, a few people joined on my say-so expecting it to not be their cup of tea.
They left as Bella White fans.
She is easy to like.
4/
I get nothing for singing Bella’s praises. I don’t know her personally. I don’t get paid for this.
What I get is a deep satisfaction of having helped a young artist and people who would like them to find each other.
5/
Music discovery is a thrill.
Finding a diamond - someone who’s music you love and whose career you care to follow - is rare and special.
Tonight, Bella is playing a livestream on Instagram at 8:00 ET.
I would like it if you came.
