Sometimes I’ll just flick through artists on Spotify, like
when you start listening to one artist and then click ‘Related Artists’ then be
completely sucked into a black hole of music for a few hours. There is always
one or two that stick out from that black hole and Stella Donnelly was one of
them for me.
I had gone backwards in my blog as I’ve recently started
writing again and found The Colourist which led me to the acoustic brutal
lullaby like voice of Stella Donnelly, the very first song I’d heard was ‘MechanicalBull’ purely for the fact that it’s the most listened on her Spotify page, a
song that is honest and open regarding relationship issues. Stella has this
voice that screams jaded Kate Nash, in the instance that if she was bought up
by Sinead O’Connor while growing up in the surroundings of Adele and her best
friend is Amy Winehouse...Think ‘Foundations’ meets ‘Daydreamer’.
Lyrically Stella Donnelly touches on subjects that only
previously I feel Scroobius Pip would, ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is written quite
frankly about rape and the victimization of a young women. What is blatant is
that she is writing music beyond her years, the most eloquent voice is bashed
with pure emotion and words. With only 444,000 hits on Spotify, I’m sure it’s
only a matter of time before the right amount of exposure leads to more
mainstream success, definitely one for the future.
