Bess Atwell signs to Nettwerk and shares new song, "The Act"

"The Act" is Atwell's first release on the label, following her 2024 album Light Sleeper. The track sees Atwell explore the experience of leaving home and learning how to start over somewhere new.

“This song was written when I had just moved to Quebec, where I lived for 9 months," Atwell explains of the track. "It was a birds-eye view of the relationships I had chosen to leave behind, not just physically. It’s an empowering song for me that basically says 'I didn’t want to have to do this alone but I absolutely can.'”
