Shelita – Bloom (2025)
Shelita’s new single, ‘Bloom’, is a beautiful celebration of love, life, and the universe itself. From the very first notes, the track draws you in with its reggae-inspired rhythms, instantly making you want to nod along and soak in the groove. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to revisit reggae just for the joy of it; at least it worked for me.
The song pulses with energy, anchored by infectious percussion and warm, melodic bass lines that give it a lively, uplifting feel. Shelita’s voice carries the track beautifully; soulful, expressive and full of heart, gliding effortlessly over the layered instrumentation. Her singing feels intimate yet celebratory, perfectly matching the song’s message of expansive, universal love.
Lyrically, ‘Bloom’ is both poetic and optimistic. Lines like “there is a universe of love inside of us” and “planted like seeds into you and me” create a sense of connection, growth and hope. The chorus, with its repeated “bloom, bloom, bloom”, reinforces the song’s joyful quality, while imagery of trees growing towards the heavens adds a sense of uplift and serenity. It’s a love song but also a reflection on life, human connection and the way we carry love forward into the world.
Produced in collaboration with Marcus “Bellringer” Bell, the track balances a lush, full sound with a playful lightness, making it feel effortless and breezy. Even at its most layered moments, the song remains clear and engaging, giving each element room to shine.
The track bridges Shelita’s earlier acoustic pop roots with a richer, more rhythm-driven sound. Her ability to make listeners feel part of the music, almost like they’re stepping into the song themselves, is stronger than ever. It’s a track that invites repeat listens, whether you’re drawn to the melodies, the reggae vibes or the lyrics.
Overall, ‘Bloom’ feels like a celebration of everything that makes Shelita unique as an artist. The reggae-inspired grooves and her warm, expressive vocals give the track a sense of joy and movement, while the lyrics reflect her curiosity and love for life itself. You can hear her adventurous approach to music, and it’s clear that she puts care and intention into every note. This is Shelita at her most radiant, showing her musical versatility and the playful, heartfelt energy that has earned her a devoted following around the world.
