Indie Pop from Bliss Carmxn

London-based singer-songwriter Bliss Carmxn is a compelling voice in the sphere of alternative pop, blending elements of electro, disco and folk influences to craft a sound that’s struck a chord with listeners around the world. Built on honest lyricism and graceful melodies, Bliss’s music offers a poignant exploration of love, loss and the many facets of human emotion.

Bliss initially trained in classical piano and has been developing their creative output since childhood, singing in choirs and immersing themselves in the world of music. However, their journey hasn’t been without its challenges. At 18, Bliss stepped away from music out of fear of how pursuing a career in the industry might impact their personal life. It wasn’t until 2017, proudly embracing their queer and non-binary identity, that Bliss returned to music with the debut single “Alone Together” via the Berlin-based queer imprint Wicked Hag, marking a triumphant reclamation of their passion and authenticity.

Since then they’ve released a string of well-received singles as well as remixes of their critically acclaimed single “Powder” by CRISP&CLASSY and Mad Kate. Recently Bliss dropped singles “Hey Oh Hey” and “Hear” in the build up to their forthcoming debut EP titled Hold My Hand And I’ll Hold Yours which is set to be released in May.

Now they bring us their latest single with the third track lifted from the upcoming EP with “Big Enough.” Joined by their UK-based team of producer Rookes, sound engineer Ary and Kate Tavini on mastering, they craft a delicate piano-driven ballad that showcases the tender side of Bliss Carmxn’s sonic vision.

Marking a departure from their trademark sound, on “Big Enough” they strip back the drums and electronic instrumentation to leave a minimal arrangement that allows Bliss’ beautiful vocals to shine brightly against the minimal backdrop. Opened by the bright chords and airy notes of piano, Bliss threads poignant lyrics via elegant melodies, their voice brimming with aching emotion as it flickers between rich tones and falsetto touches.

Building with the warm texture of backing vocal hums, “Big Enough” presents an immersive sound that’s at once intimate and dazzling. Rising with the soft flutter of strings and distant overlapping vocal lines, “Big Enough” sees Bliss Carmxn serve up a stunning sound of moving music that further builds the excitement for their debut EP release in May.
