On April 4, Greek artist Σtella (pronounced “Stella”) released her fascinating new album Adagio in CD/LP/DSPs format via Sub Pop.
Adagio is a pop album that envelops the listener like a warm blanket, thanks to nylon-stringed guitars, feather-light percussion, psychedelic keyboards and Staccato drums. Written and recorded over five years with a group of international collaborators, including Rafael Cohen of the !!! and British singer-songwriter Gabriel Stebbing, Adagio is a 27-minute meditation on love and longing, rest and time.
Although most of the tracks are sung in English, like all his previous albums, Σtella also features his first two songs in Greek: Omorfo Mou and a cover of a 1969 Greek New Wave cult classic, Ta Vimata by Litsa Sakellariou.
Adagio follows the release of his debut album with Sub Pop, Up and Away (2022), which surpassed three million monthly listeners on Spotify and garnered major music synchronizations, including MAX’s Industry series and an online advertising campaign for H&M.
Opening
Arianna Poli
Arianna was born on a Wednesday in September, under an almost waning moon.
She finds in music an intimate and unique way to tell stories and express herself, paraphrasing everyday life and the people around her.
In 2018, she released her first EP—small and naïve, just like her—and began performing live in countless places she’ll never forget.
In the summer of 2021, she appeared as a guest at several dates of Quando tutto diventò blu, the show by Alessandro Baronciani and Corrado Nuccini, and in September 2022, she released Tanti auguri, a Raffaella Carrà cover for Sugar’s Sugar Undercover compilation.
