“vintage superstar” – Postmodern Jukebox
Stella Cole is hitting the road this holiday season in support of her upcoming single “Merry Christmas, Darling”. Here, this is a timeless reimagining of the beloved Carpenters classic. Last year, the “powerhouse rivaling Judy Garland and Rosemary Clooney” (People) released her holiday EP Snow!
Snow! presents Stella interpreting well-known holiday classics. For example, she includes “White Christmas,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”. Additionally, Cole presents discoveries like “Christmas Dreaming” and “That’s What I Want for Christmas.” Grammy-winning arranger Alan Broadbent arranged Snow!, which is sure to become a holiday classic.
Stella recently released her sophomore album It’s Magic. Broadbent also arranged this album, which breathes new life into classic love songs. She recorded at New York’s legendary Power Station, with the vision to find unconventional, yet familiar songs. These include standards like “Fools Rush In” and iconic film themes like “As Time Goes By” (a favorite of Cole’s from Casablanca). Also, Burt Bacharach’s main title theme from Alfie (1966), Cole’s dreamy interpretation of “Say It,” and the tender “Till There Was You.” The latter became familiar through the 1957 Broadway musical The Music Man and later The Beatles.
With a voice that bridges generations, Stella Cole has cultivated over 1.7 million social media followers. She accomplishes this 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-Bublé sensation, Cole brings a fresh interpretation of classic repertoire to a new generation.
