To watch Stella Cole perform is to be transported back in time. Her sense of joy and wonder is infectious. The 26-year-old rising Star vocalist brings classics to life for new generations with her new album It’s Magic. Produced by Grammy-winner Matt Pierson (Samara Joy, Brad Mehldau) and featuring lush string arrnagements by renowned Grammy-winning pianist arranger Alan Broadbent (Natalie Cole, Diana Krall), the album breathes new life in to classic love songs. With a voice that bridges generations, Cole has cultivated over 1.7 million social media followers through her fresh interpretations of timeless songs by iconic artists including Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Nat “King” Cole. Often described as a Laufey-meets-Buble sensation, Cole brings a fresh spin on classics.

On her highly anticipated debut recording, Stella is presented performing interpreting a collection of classics in a variety of settings, including many featuring an orchestra arranged by multiple Grammy-winner Alan Broadbent. 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” of course!), it is sure to be one of the most impressive vocal recordings of 2024.

Upon first hearing Stella Cole, one is immediately struck by her rich tone and extraordinary vocal control. However, what is particularly rare is her ability to interpret songs that were initially intended for actors in character in a direct, personally vulnerable way that connects to something within herself, placing her in the lineage of the greatest interpreters of the repertoire. Perhaps most exciting, to her many young fans, who have never heard these songs before, these are Stella Cole songs, which clearly makes her one of the most exciting artists of her generation.
