With the ink just dry on her Sub Pop contract, Athens based artist Σtella (Stella Chronopoulou) releases her first single for the label – a laid back slice of sunshine synth pop. A must for fans of Khruangbin, Surprise Chef and Crumb. Charmed specifically has vibes of First Aid Kit meets The XX and will bring everyone out of the wintry mire into the spring.
Hailing from Athens, Greece, Σtella has proven herself a strong storyteller, an old-school pop paean to the pangs and raptures of love. This song was recorded between London and Athens and was produced by Redinho from Swet Shop Boys.
On “Charmed” Σtella shares: “We strive to charm, and to be charmed. Mirroring each other’s desires like birds-of-paradise in a tropical forest, dancing wildly to impress a potential mate. But despite our best efforts, things don’t always go as planned…”
Σtella’s forthcoming full length for Sub Pop will be released later this year.
