Today, ahead of the release of her upcoming EP, Hollybaby, due December 13th via KRO Records, NYC based rising singer-songwriter, Stella Rose, releases the single and lyric video for “HOLLYBABY,” the project’s titular track.
The release of “HOLLYBABY,” follows the first single from the EP, “MS.45.,” an ethereal and chilling work of poetry turned song, produced by her longtime collaborator, Yves Rothman, co-founder of KRO Records. In “HOLLYBABY,” Stella’s signature seductive vocals, and bombastic, dangerous punk sound blend together as the haunting bass melody repeats over an echoing Stella singing, “I’m a loose wire.”
The writing process for Hollybaby saw Stella Rose differ from familiarity. Not only did she shift from her native New York to Los Angeles to complete her home recorded demos, she also adopted a more urgent style of writing, embracing time constraints and challenging herself to give her original ideas a “second life”. Each day reached 100+ degrees as Hollybaby came together during the hottest week of the summer in LA. Both Stella Rose and her producer Yves fed off that uncomfortable heat in the studio, culminating in her loudest, rawest and arguably most entrancing material to date. 2024 has been a year of growth and transformation for Stella Rose, seeing her grow into an international fashion muse for houses like Ann D, Celine and EDR. She is receiving the full embrace of the booming underground scene in New York City, having recently performed at the very first show at the buzzy Hancock, frequented by Pretty Sick and The Dare. Having recently wrapped up a successful run of UK/EU tour dates with A Place To Bury Strangers, Stella Rose embarks on her latest chapter with the wind firmly in her sails.
With influences like Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, and evidently, her father Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode, Stella Rose’s unapologetically expressive and alluring persona and lyrics are sure to captivate. "HOLLYBABY" is out today. Hollybaby EP is due for release on December 13th via KRO Records. |
