Stellie’s Self-Titled Debut EP is slated for August 21 release

Stepping out from bedroom songwriter to emerging artist on the cusp of greatness, Adelaide’s Stellie has made her mark as one of the most exciting young songwriters in Australia right now.

Latest single “I’d Have Killed For You” (out now) is a funky, yet slightly dark and obsessive track which plays with the concept of extreme unrequited love and obsessive fantasy, with a killer bass line.

Directed by Jackson Thornbury with a cam-corder and a classic 1974 Ford Ltd in the streets of Adelaide, the brand new video creates a golden-hued 70’s LA daydream to match. Shimmering with nostalgia and old Hollywood cinematic cues, the video is saturated in hazy hypnotic visuals as Stellie croons her confessions.

(Stellie) "The idea behind the IHKFY video was to turn my hometown of Adelaide into downtown L.A. Directed by the incredible Jackson Thornbury, we wanted the visuals to represent the same nostalgic feeling that is emulated in the song.

But what’s really different about this video - is it was completely filmed in isolation. Just me, Jackson and a couple of old camcorders roaming around the streets of Adelaide in a classic 1974 Ford LTD, that we borrowed from his dad."

Coming off the back of previous single “How Do We Look So Good?”, which was added to high rotation on triple j, was featured across multiple websites and playlists, and solidified her immense talent for songwriting with emotional depth and lush sonic palettes, Stellie has also announced her Self-Titled Debut EP due for release August 21st.

Co-written with Zach Hamilton-Reeves (Northeast Party House), and produced by Alex Markwell (The Delta Riggs) “I’d Have Killed For You” mixes Stellie’s hazy world of dreamy and cinematic song writing, with Zach’s irresistible groove and melody, and Alex’s hard-hitting, ear catching riffs and bass lines.
