Stella Rose is excited to reveal her new EP, Hollybaby, out now via KRO Records. The New York dark pop artist’s latest body of work also comes alongside an official music video for ‘Beautiful Twentysomethings’, which was self-directed by Stella Rose. Speaking of the new EP, Stella Rose says: “The best kept secret between after hour bars. People that you’ve been before, fueling superstitions. The sedation in seduction, the day the music died.”Stella Rose recently arrived in London for a sold-out solo live performance at The Shacklewell Arms as part of her UK/European tour, which also included a sold-out night in Paris. Her new EP Hollybaby follows the release of her acclaimed 2023 debut album, Eyes of Glass.
The Hollybaby EP was recorded alongside producer Yves Rothman. It invites listeners into deeper realms of Stella Rose’s dark and otherworldly lyrical poetry, emboldened with gritty soundscapes and introspective ruminations. The title track sets the ominous tone from the offset, with brooding guitars and hauntingly delivered vocals. ‘MS.45’ continues in a similar vein with its fiery metaphorical imagery, while ‘Beautiful Twentysomethings’, as Stella Rose describes, offers “a portrait of youth and the nativities of beauty in chaotic places”. ‘Drugstore Romeo’ concludes the EP with a contrast in sound, showcasing Stella Rose’s expansive vocal range with soaring vocal melodies which pair pensively with lyrics surrounding drug addiction on the streets of NYC. The writing process saw Stella Rose intentionally drift from familiarity. Not only did she shift from her native New York to Los Angeles whilst recording, she also adopted a more urgent style of writing. Each day reached 100+ degrees as Hollybaby came together during the hottest week of the summer in LA. Both Stella Rose and her producer Yves fed off that uncomfortable heat in the studio, which contributed heavily towards the EP’s visceral identity. The finishing touches were later added back in New York, culminating in Stella Rose’s loudest, rawest and arguably most entrancing material to date.”
Stella Rose now finds herself firmly among the buzzy circles of New York’s underground scene (as per Rolling Stone), having recently performed at the already notorious party The Hancock in Brooklyn, frequented by the likes of The Dare and Pretty Sick. She is also making a serious footprint in the fashion world, gracing the covers of publications such as POP, W Mag and Lampoon Magazine. In addition to earning praise for her work from outlets including Rolling Stone UK, Brooklyn Vegan, Paper, Clash, CREEM, and NME, she’s been embraced by like-minded artists, appearing in Hedi Slimane’s Dairies, the Buffalo Hotel Chelsea Issue 16 photographed by Richard Kern, and walking in the Enfants Riches Deprims show during Paris Fashion Week.
