This has got to be one of her best releases, “Get This” is something we got from the start as Belot delves into punk-pop with this bold, bright, and fierce new electro-energetic single. Making an impact with her vibrant awkward pop releases, Belot isn’t afraid to bring something new to the table, and these sparks of electro energy wrapped around a punk-esque vibe whilst still giving mainstream pop is fully showcasing her artistry in every way. This acts as the follow-up to her previous single “Cool Whip“.
Belot, real name Maya Belot, is a North London-born singer-songwriter who is obsessed with pop music, so it’s not a surprise that she has followed her passion by rising up the pop music industry. At the age of 8, she started to learn to play the guitar and by the age of 12, she started using a laptop and recording her music, using Logic. Building up her career at a young age, she enrolled in the Brit School at 14 years old, which allowed her to grow as an artist and follow a direction leading to her iconic unique style of pop music that we hear from her now. She dropped her debut single “Familiar” in April 2020 – which is her most-streamed single on Spotify, to date, with 2.9 million streams – and after a few more singles, she dropped her debut EP “Electric Blue”, a few months later. Roll on a couple more years and she released her sophomore EP “Harmless Fun”, to critical acclaim. She started her 2023 era with a bang, due to the release of “Cool Whip”, and she continues to make an impact with her latest single “Get This”.
Written by Maya Belot and Oscar Lang whilst it has been produced by Max Margolis and Maya Belot, “Get This” is an infectious alternative-pop track that adds a pulsating electronic beat which wraps perfectly around Belot’s punk-pop vocals. She delivers the song with a heightened passion that certainly hits home to the listener. The rhythmic addictive beat works perfectly with the self-empowerment lyrics diving in deep about the feelings of a resurfaced ex who broke your heart and has resurfaced, but you’ve come to the realisation you’re better without them – Belot is welcome to tell all our exes to go sit on a cactus! Unique quirky lyrics which effortlessly make this stand out, “Get This” is the self-empowerment track we didn’t know we needed, until now.
Talking about the track, Belot said: “I wrote this song with one of my best friends at his house. We made a trashy demo to start but as I listened to it rather than drunk on the way home, I knew we were onto something. I’d hope it’s not a feeling everyone has had, but I know that most of us at some point have wanted an ex to sit on a cactus.”
