Enola Bedard captures the unspoken on new single ‘Unavez’
Enola Bedard
Enola Bedard returns with ‘Unavez’, a single that leans into emotional hesitation while quietly asserting her place as an artist moving beyond the expectations of her digital origins. The Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and multidisciplinary creative continues to shape a sound that feels gloriously instinctive. Her background in dance has given her an uncanny ability to deliver a sound that resonates as much with the body as it does in the ear.
Built around a warm, rhythmic pulse, ‘Unavez’ is definitively a pop song. Thankfully, though, it manages to avoid flattening itself into something overly polished or predictable. There’s a natural vibrancy and sense of flow to the track – a reflection of Bedard’s years as a dancer – where each moment feels guided by motion more than rigid structure. It’s that physicality that gives the single its edge, subtly distinguishing it from more conventional pop releases.
Lyrically, the track centres on a familiar but often unspoken tension – the moment where feelings exist, but neither side is willing to step forward. Delivered across French, English and Spanish, the song reinforces the idea that emotion doesn’t require translation – it just needs to be felt.
That multilingual approach isn’t a stylistic flourish, but a reflection of Bedard’s own background. Originally from Quebec and now based in Los Angeles, her work naturally pulls from multiple cultural influences, shaping a sound that feels global without ever losing its intimacy.
Before stepping fully into music, Bedard built a significant following through dance, connecting with over 16 million people on TikTok. While that audience remains part of her story, ‘Unavez’ signals a shift – one that places her voice, rather than her movement, at the centre.
Over the past year, she has been refining this transition in the studio, working alongside collaborators including multi-Grammy-winning producer Nick Monson and multi-platinum songwriter Chaz Mishan. Previous releases – ‘Walk’, ‘Rouge’, and ‘Want It More’ – have laid the groundwork for a forthcoming EP, with ‘Unavez’ acting as a clear introduction to this next phase.
Rather than attempting to distance herself from her past, Bedard integrates it – allowing movement, rhythm and visual instinct to inform her music in a way that feels cohesive. ‘Unavez’ is less about reinvention and more about alignment, bringing together the different strands of her creative identity into something more defined.
With this release, Enola Bedard doesn’t just step forward – she dances into perspective. ‘Unavez’ offers a glimpse of an artist settling into her own language, both literally and creatively.
