This EP isn’t just about great music—it’s about taking care of your mental health. The sounds are designed to help you decompress, slow down, and reflect on everything going on in your life. Whether you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just need a break, this EP is a reminder to pause and breathe.
Belle’s original album, Ravel In The Forest, was all about capturing the beauty of nature through sound. Now, with this new release, she’s inviting listeners to step into a meditative space—one where you can be imaginative, creative, and vulnerable. The music blends acoustic piano melodies with ambient electronic sounds, creating a perfect mix for anyone who loves atmospheric music that helps clear the mind.
