“N

o halo / Baby, I’m the reason why Hell’s so hot / Inferno.” Wow! 🎙 Sub Urban and 🎙 Bella Poarch make 🎵 “INFERNO” (Hell) sound heavenly – at least from the listener’s perspective! As you’d expect a song about hell must be set in a minor key – it would be odd if it had been set in major! Clocking in at just shy of two-and-a-quarter minutes, Bella and Sub make sure their bombard us with high quality.

I heart the instrumental intro on “INFERNO,” which sets the tone, prefacing the full-fledged, colorful production work.  Notably, the classical music cues utilized are sweet. Where the vocals are concerned, I love the playful, expressive vocals by Bella Poarch.  Much like on “Build a Bitch”, she has ample potential as a pop artist. It’s not only Bella though – how about that Sub Urban? Sub matches those playful vocals by Poarch; I’m digging his tone as he sings in an undertone.

“Manic like a chandelier, crack the ceiling
Marie Antoinette ‘cause she’s lost her mind
Falling for exteriors, as appealing
As they might be, I know I’m afraid.”

Overall, there’s a novel nature to this track that makes it really intriguing. Melodically, it’s well-penned and tuneful to the nth degree.  Furthermore, the lyrics are successful.


Final Thoughts 💭 

Ultimately, “INFERNO” is heavenly sounding, even if it is “hellish” given the song title.  The pros include strong performances by Sub Urban and Bella Poarch. Additional selling points include theme and lyrics as well as the brevity of the record. Sigh, it’s a glorious, worthwhile, ear-catching two-and-a-quarter minutes.
