Description

Stella Donnelly is a young singer-songwriter who has the gift of wrapping uncompromising lyrics, filled with brutal honesty, in dreamy lullabies for a hypnotic effect. Her debut EP, Thrush Metal, released in 2017, brings her international critical acclaim and opens up an undeniably bright future. Full of sharp punchlines, Stella's writing on Thrush Metal acts as an honest guide that empowers young women in the era of Trump, Tinder, and third-wave feminism. The first single, "Boys Will Be Boys," written in late 2016, tackles society's tendency to blame victims of sexual assault and rape while making excuses for the perpetrators. However, this insightful narrative is not limited to "Boys Will Be Boys." The new bonus track, "Talking," explores the feeling of being in a one-sided relationship from the perspective of the millennial generation, and the single "Mechanical Bull" is a concise yet powerful piece that addresses the male tendency to persist in unwanted sexual advances.
