Her first studio album is due for release on August 30, 2024.
Vocalist and rising artist Stella Cole has shared a rendition of the popular 1934 classic love song, “P.S. I Love You” available now via La Reserve Records.
A timeless love letter to a partner, the song was written by Gordon Jenkins and features one of Johnny Mercer’s cleverest lyrics. Not to be confused with The Beatles’ song by the same name, the most well-known version of this classic is by Billie Holiday on her classic Lady Sings the Blues.
The release follows Stella’s recent warm and inviting version of the timeless song “Moon River” (listen Here) and the announcement of her first studio album, due for release on August 30, 2024.
A highly anticipated debut, Stella interprets a collection of classics in a variety of settings, including many highlighted by an orchestra arranged by multiple Grammy-winner Alan Broadbent (Chet Baker, Natalie Cole), featuring Brazilian guitar master Chico Pinheiro, and produced by Grammy-winner Matt Pierson (Samara Joy, Laura Benanti).
Stella Cole is quickly becoming known for her signature mix of jazz standards, Broadway gems, and beloved tunes from the Great American Songbook. Her sound is familiar, yet fresh and stands at the crossroads of past and present, classic and contemporary. Stella's commanding stage presence and captivating voice have ushered her from rural Illinois to performing at New York’s biggest jazz venues, including Dizzy’s at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland Jazz Club, and Café Carlyle — and as a featured artist with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, she has toured the globe and collaborated on a cover of “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus that’s received over seven million views online (watch here).
Stella has captured a new generation of traditional pop fans on social media where she’s amassed over 1.5 million followers. Her popular cover videos of songs popularized by greats like Sara Vaughan, Julie Andrews and Ella Fitzgerald have also captured the attention of James Taylor, Michael Bublé, and Meghan Trainor.
Featuring songs made famous by everyone from Barbra Streisand (“When the Sun Comes Out”) and Judy Garland (“The Boy Next Door” and a classic re-interpretation of “Over the Rainbow”) to Billie Eilish (“My Future”) and Audrey Hepburn (“Moon River”), Stella Cole’s self-titled debut studio album arrives with an impressive vocal recording that serves to position her as a consummate artist in her own right.
