STELLA // JAMES has been impressing us since their debut, a three-song set of acoustic demos, and we’re loving the classy and conniving visual for their lead song, “Stella.”
“We’re not trying to do a genre, we’re not saying we’re country music or Americana or pop or anything, we just want to make music and the people that respond to it, those are the people that we connect with and that we want to go out on the road and share the music with,” the group’s Sarah Davidson told us in a recent interview.
“I feel like there’s such a shift in the mind of the people that are buying the music they don’t necessarily think, ‘Oh, I’m only gonna listen to country, or this,’ it’s more about ‘I like that song ‘cuz I identify with it and I’m going through that same thing,’ or like ‘hey, Stella, like that’s me when I walk in the bar with my friends on a Friday night and I’m on point, like, I’m Stella.’
And that’s what we wanna do, we wanna bring out the best in everyone, bring out that fun, authentic confidence in the women that we sing to, feel like ‘hey, you’re awesome.’ We just want to empower people through our music.”
