Stella Prince - Luluc
Stella Prince - Two Faced.
Authentic and from-the-heart, Stella Prince’s melodies delve deep into your spirit with her evocative and relatable songs. Her poetic lyrics, in tandem with the atmospheric sounds of her vocals, acoustic guitar, and musical compositions, appeal to a diverse, multi-generational audience. Born and raised in Woodstock, NY, Stella, who is nearing the end of her teenage years, is now living in Nashville.
Stella Prince’s musical influences span decades—from country and folk music’s renowned voices of Judy Garland, Karen Carpenter, Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton; to the pop icon Taylor Swift. Think Country Press says, “Imagine the perfect mixture of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Judy Collins all packed into one young musician.”
Stella independently released her 8th single, “Two Faced,” on August 4. For this newest single, Stella had the pleasure of working with Steve Fishell, a Nashville-based pedal steel guitarist, Grammy-winning record producer, and educator [Dolly Parton, John Prine, Mavis Staples, Emmylou Harris].
“No one sings like Stella Prince,” says Fishell. “I was transported the first time I heard her and I bet you will be too.”
Emotionally moving from the start, accentuated by Fishell’s pedal steel, with the harrowing opening lines, “You got her right where you wanted… Lonely enough so she’d take the bait… Blinded by words that were only an empty promise… Desperation paves way for mistakes.” The heart of the song is in the chorus: ‘There’s all kinds of empty… but the hardest one to take… is lies that seem tempting… Loneliness is two faced.’

Community Music is excited to share another gorgeous song and video from Luluc out today! The video for Moonbeam was directed by Giraffe Studios who also created the immensely beautiful video for latest single 'Diamonds'.
“Moonbeam” captures in just over two minutes the calm essence of a Sunday morning, one scored with sparse arrangements, a touch of melancholia and singer Zoe Randell’s velveteen vocal melody. With cello offering a subtle countermelody, she moves with the understated grace of Nico on the first Velvet Underground album, especially when Randell lingers on the phrase, “There is happiness to find.” Her phrasing exudes warmth, as if she’s assuring herself in a moment of doubt.
Zoe speaks on Moonbeam, “None of us knows when our time is up. And in order to know, when time does come, when that bell does toll, that I have put my energies and attention towards the right things, taken care of and appreciated the right things, is a daily art and practice. And one I hope to master. Under this moon, under this sun.”
The release of Moonbeam comes shortly after the announcement of new album Diamonds alongside the release of the title-track. In just over a month ‘Diamonds’ has amassed over 300k streams across platforms, and is getting consistent airplay across a number of radio stations in the US.
