Stella Donnelly has laid out plans for her third studio album.
The follow-up to 2022's 'Flood' is titled 'Love And Fortune' and will arrive on November 7 marking her first release for Brace Yourself Records in the UK and Europe, and Dot Dash Recordings for the rest of the world.
Recorded in Melbourne in her native Australia, it's described as a personal project about finding her way back to herself after big life changes. She said:
"These songs wouldn't leave me alone. Like seagulls, they screamed at me when I rode to work, they pecked at me while I wrote essays, and they stole my chips the second I thought I was happier without music."
Donnelly is joined on the record by long-time collaborators and friends Marcel Tussie, Jack Gaby and Julia Wallace, along with new contributors Sophie Ozard, Timothy Harvey and Ellie Mason. It will include Baths and Standing Ovation, from her recent double a-side single, as well as the newly shared Feel It Change, a gently melodic offering that blends indie-rock with emotional honesty.
"I wrote this song on a baritone guitar in the shed of my sharehouse, plugged into all of my housemate’s overdrive pedals," Donelly explained. "I think the neighbours started getting shitty after a while because I stewed on the same chords for ages. It's about the rumination of slowly peeling off the band-aid of a relationship that was doomed to fall apart. Trying to capture that phase of a break up where all you do is bristle and fizz in resentment and finger pointing."
