Stella Donnelly has returned with a double a-side single.
Baths and Standing Ovation serve as her first new music since her 2022 sophomore album 'Flood', and arrive alongside news that the Australian singer-songwriter has signed a deal with Dot Dash Recordings/Remote Control Records. On her return to the music scene after a period of rest and reflection, she said:
"It felt like the right time for a reset, creatively, personally, and professionally. I could think of no better home for these songs than Dot Dash. I'm so grateful to have found a team who genuinely believe in the music and have given me the space to explore what this next chapter looks like. I felt very much at home straight away!"
The former track finds Donnelly at her most vulnerable and reflective, with sparse instrumentation highlighting her honest lyrics. The latter is another hauntingly introspective offering featuring jangly guitars. About Baths, she explained:
"I came up with this melody while I was swimming laps at the Brunswick Baths, the pool filter was making a humming sound on one note which allowed me to sing a melody over the top. It then continued when I got home and had a shower with the bathroom fan on. Both activities made it difficult to write any lyrics down. I finally sat with a keyboard and held a note and it all just came together. A little timeline of my life so far."
