dubitanda (ever in doubt)

razor ⋮ riffs

Σtella was born beside the sea and raised by a Canadian nanny who waterskied topless.

She writes songs that walk a razor thin line between happy and sad. Keeps things simple: naked arrangements, spacey synths, earworm riffs, sparkly smooth vocals.

People have been talking about her:

Bold, streamlined pop
[said Paste Magazine].

Enticing
[said Clash Magazine].

Her lyrics are moody and compelling on their own,
but I was buying whatever she was selling
as soon as I heard her blend
of video game-flavored electro-pop
paired with deep lady vocals. Swoon
[said Bitch Media].

Σtella’s honey-rich vocals
overlie a crisp, no-frills backing
that has echoes of classic ’60s pop
[said The Line of Best Fit].

The fact that her range
is on the lower end of the spectrum
gives Σtella this regal quality to her music,
similar to what Annie Lennox did for the Eurythmics
[said Earmilk].

With dirt under her fingernails,
a whole decade of grit in her voice,
and an endless supply of bass licks,
the Athens-based singer-songwriter
will get any room moving
[said MTV Iggy].

Σtella is always working on new music.

A (little) bio.

Taken from a bio text written for the Greek pop artist Σtella in 2018.

 

The projector-light image shows Σtella in the guise of piano saint, with guitar and football.

 

Σtella really always is working on new music.

 

The Canadian nanny who waterskied topless is really true too.
