Stella Donnelly

Stella Donnelly is a singer/songwriter from Perth, who started out as an indie folk artist who also crosses over into indie rock sometimes. Her music tends to be on the subdued side, though she has plenty of songs with bolder melodies and a stronger presentation. Lyricism has been her game for the most part, as she tends to deal with some intense matters in her songs, with stories that can pack a punch, all delivered in sweet voice and a fluid, charming style. Her arrangements are down to earth, without any fancy trappings as she keeps the focus on her words. Her songs often lean towards a duskier mood, but she somehow also finds a sunny edge to inject into her tone. It is a tricky balancing act and Donnelly is good at maintaining it.
