Singer-songwriter BUEL releases new single “Dancing with Devils of Mine”

Based in Los Angeles, BUEL is a multi-talented artist ; from her Indie-Pop songs’ compositions, arrangements, music video directions to stylism and visuals, BUEL handles everything with taste and perfection.

She now releases her new single, “Dancing with Devils of Mine”, recorded at producer Adrian Gurvitz's studio in Tarzana, CA.

BUEL wrote “Dancing with Devils of Mine” with Adrian Gurvitz (famous for his hit songs and Grammy Award-winning soundtrack from the movie ‘The Bodyguard’, he signed BUEL a production deal with AGM Records UK, upon her release ‘Advice’) and Sarah McTaggart (Transviolet).

“Adrian and Sarah frequently work together writing songs and that’s how I met Sarah. I wanted to work with her because she is really great at reading minds and grasping people’s essences. It’s very rare that I can write lyrics with someone else and she definitely made it very easy.

Sarah McTaggart was talking about the lack of support from families to the people who come out. I thought to myself ‘Why do we even need their support or validation?’. Why is coming out a ceremony? This is such a personal thing and it shouldn’t be others’ business to accept or discuss.”

Together, they recorded the song the day they wrote it, at Adrian Gurvitz’s studio in Tarzana, CA. PRE-SAVE

The music video was produced, imagined, directed, choreographed and edited by Buel herself.

The song is about taking a more individualistic approach to gender and sexuality.

“In my opinion society is too involved in individuals’ gender and sexual orientation and this is accepted by most of the people as people from all sides feel the pressure to try to explain what these mean to them and who they are interested in. This acceptance feels a bit like an invasion of privacy to me and I think the more we accept to explain our gender and sexuality to others the more we create space for suppression and judgment. Because these are only feelings and concepts and shouldn’t be treated as solid rock or ‘gold’ for people’s liking or sympathy as I mentioned in the song. Like 'boys having to act like boys", or the concept of a “man not being a man or woman". I believe if we could all accept that these are personal feelings that evolve day to day, there would be more space for privacy and respect.

'Words keep it together but floating feels better'.

My dream is to be able to show up as either a boy or a girl spiritually or physically on various days. As I don't seem to be seeking any attention, judging, or questioning, I am neutral. People seem to find comfort in identifying others and treating these feelings as something fixed and unchangeable. However, we are constantly being enlightened about ourselves and the universe and can instead choose to stay open to endless opportunities.

I think this contradicts with the flowing nature of our spirits which I wish was a 'Careless Pleasure'.

“Dancing with Devils of Mine” is a metaphor to defend our individual journeys, selfishness and freedom to express and change our gender and sexuality.” –BUEL
