Stella Donnelly signs to Dot Dash Recordings and shares double-single, "Baths" / "Standing Ovation"
Australian artist Stella Donnelly has made her return with the release of a double A-side single, "Baths" / "Standing Ovation", and the announcement of her signing to Dot Dash Recordings.
Reflecting on the creation of "Baths", Stella Donnelly shares: "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."
The release sees Stella Donnelly unveiling her first new music since her 2022 album, Flood.
Speaking on the signing with Dot Dash Recordings, Stella Donnelly says,"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!".
Director of Labels, Sweetie Zamora adds, "We’ve been fans of Stella’s incredible songwriting since her debut EP Thrush Metal. These new songs hit us right in the heart and I’m deeply thankful that after a period of time away from making music, Stella has returned and trusted Dot Dash to join a new chapter with her."
"Baths" / "Standing Ovation" is out now via Dot Dash Recordings / Remote Control Records.
