Annika Bellamy delivers a bilingual triumph on stunning single, “Angels”
With Angels released on December 12th, 2025, Annika Bellamy steps fully into the spotlight as one of the most emotionally connective voices in modern pop and R&B once again. The Southern California artist, Dutch, Indonesian, and European Spanish by heritage, channels her multicultural identity into a bilingual masterpiece that feels as celestial as the title suggests. It’s a track that doesn’t just show her growth as a songwriter and vocalist, rather in our eyes it has solidified her as a true storyteller of the heart.
Recorded in the warmth of her home studio, Angels carries that unmistakable intimacy from the very first note. Annika’s vocals sit confidently at the front of the mix letting every nuance and breath shimmer. There’s no hiding behind production here, instead, her voice becomes the guiding light, leading listeners through a deeply personal reflection on loss, memory, and the hope of connection with loved ones who’ve passed on. The lyrics are truly magnificent, whether you speak English, Spanish, or both.
Co-produced with Jayden Panesso, the track weaves a lush, cosmic blend of Pop and R&B, with soul radiating from its every layer, but primarily her vocals. However, the addition of Todd Meikle’s captivating guitar lines brings a glowing feel that balances beautifully against the song’s more ethereal elements. Sweeping strings and synths delicately layered throughout elevate the track into something honestly cinematic sounding.
The interplay between English and Spanish isn’t just stylistic, it’s simply emotional, grounding the track in Annika’s cultural roots while giving the story a universal resonance. The way she glides between languages feels seamless and natural, as though the song could not exist any other way. Once again, if you don’t speak either of these languages it hardly matters, because just the sole delivery alone will have you hooked on it.
The result though is a piece of music that feels like a gift. Angels showcases Annika at her most vulnerable and easily her most powerful. It’s another true masterpiece from an artist who keeps proving she has something special to say, and the voice to say it with undeniable grace.
