Signed originally to Belgian label Crammed, their style has evolved over time from a gothic ethereal sound to synth-based pop influenced by world music.
The Band was founded together with Geir Jenssen. He left after the second album in 1990 and pursued a solo career in ambient music as Biosphere.

During the years from 1985 to present (2006) Bel Canto have been taking breaks as Anneli Drecker has pursued a solo career and done concerts with other bands and artists (including touring with A-Ha), as well as playing in films and theatre plays. Nils Johansen, on the other hand, has composed music for film and television as well as working and performing with his other band, Vajas.

21 Years after the band was founded they are still active. In the fall of 2006 they continued to do concerts, primarily in Norway.

In 2007 Bel Canto will continue to work together, both by writing new material and by doing more gigs. At the same time both Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen will also work on other projects. Latest update by 2022 is that Bel Canto are currently working on their next album.

Bel Canto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have decided to let go I cannot change the things I know
I have decided to give in like theat I cannot loose nor win
I learnt my lesson well to speak but never tell
About the things I know they know so well
Consigned it to the grave hid it from the day
It has a new deep sense to me just like a new technology
It has a new deep sense everywhere I see
And in the deepest of the night
I saw a glimpse of paradise glimpse of paradise
I learnt my lesson well to speak but never tell
About the things I know you know so well
Corals, jades and pearls are the treasures of this world
Treasures of this world
It has a new deep sense to me: my new delicious vacancy
It has a new immense sensuality
And in the deepest of the nights I looked into his angeleyes
It has a new deep sense to me just like a new technology
It has a new deep sense everywhere I see
And when I looked into his eyes
I saw a glimpse of paradise glimpse of paradise
Oh, my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bel Canto's song "Corals Jade and Pearls" seem to be about acceptance and letting go of things that cannot be changed. The singer has decided to give in and stop trying to win or lose, instead choosing to keep their knowledge and inner thoughts to themselves. The repeated line "I learnt my lesson well to speak but never tell" suggests that the singer has learned from past mistakes of being too open and vulnerable with others. They have consigned their secrets to the grave and hidden them away, giving them a new sense of deep understanding and sensuality.

The imagery of corals, jades, and pearls as treasures of this world suggests that the singer sees their own secrets and inner thoughts as valuable and rare. The line "my new delicious vacancy" implies that the singer now finds comfort in their own emptiness and the absence of pressure to constantly reveal every part of themselves.

The reference to "his angeleyes" in the final stanza suggests that the singer may have found someone who they can trust and confide in without fear of judgment or rejection. The glimpse of paradise that they see in this person's eyes could symbolize a sense of connection and understanding. Overall, the song conveys a powerful message about self-acceptance and the value of privacy.

At first glance, it’s the most mainstream-orientated album of Bel Canto, and has a bit different flow than their previous material. In the first few songs, the beautiful voice of Anneli Drecker sounds a bit similar to Annie Lennox, while the music itself is also not so far from Eurythmics. After a promising opening (“Foolish Ship”), we can find potential hits (“Feels Like I’m Already Flying”, “You Rock My World Tonight”, and “Disappear Club 5” mainly due to its melodic refrain). Somehow, the sunshine burst through the dark clouds to warm up the souls of the musicians of the band, but definitely changed the chemistry. It turned out that it would be their last album (released in 2002). At this time, Anneli already launched her solo career by releasing the debut album “Tundra” in 2000. The band captured some magical moments in two ballads (“Dorothy’s Victory” and “Tree”) and an interesting experimental attempt (“Happy Times Fly Fast!”). The album becomes more nostalgic and less poppy toward the end.
