Making the leap from bedroom artist to knockout performer just last year, Stellie is a young Adelaide artist on the cusp of bigger things.
Described as "sharp and shimmery" (Claire Mooney, triple j unearthed), "melancholy lyrics tinged with nostalgia" (Fashion Journal), "delicate" (Russh) and "sincerely heartfelt" (Richard Kingsmill, triple j), the music Stellie writes is hitting all the right notes, showcasing her immense talent for songwriting with emotional depth and lush sonic palettes with every new release.
Inspired by strong female voices, her tender and personal tales are indie-pop slow-burners that cut straight to the heart.
New single "How Do We Look So Good?" gives you a sparkling and sexy pop ballad filled with hypnotic melodies and charm-filled lyricism reminiscent of the romantic nostalgia of Lana Del Rey or the youthful insight of Lorde.
(Stellie) "How Do We Look So Good? Is about feeling guilty for not really feeling guilty at all. I wanted this track to generate a sense of nostalgia. Kind of like a dreary, hazy dream that you don’t ever want to wake up from.
This song is the first of many that represent the new era of Stellie, a world I cannot wait to explore and share with you all."

Making her break just last year, 2019 saw Stellie release her breakout single "Love Me First" - which has over 700k streams, was the 13th most visited artist page on triple j unearthed, and was hand picked as ‘Ones To Watch: 10 artists ready to break airplay charts" from The Music Network.
By the end of 2019, Stellie also broke into the live circuit as she showcased at BIGSOUND, as well as supported Lime Cordiale, Winston Surfshirt, Didirri and G-Flip at massive shows throughout the year.
Launching into 2020 full steam ahead, Stellie has in the last month performed at Mountain Goat Valley Crawl in Brisbane, as well as WOMAD in Adelaide, and opened for Cub Sport for their sold out Adelaide show.
"How Do We Look So Good" marks the next stage of Stellie’s career as she once again proves to be one of the most exciting young songwriters emerging out of Australia right now.
"How Do We Look So Good" is out Wednesday, March 4th on all digital streaming services via The Orchard.
