Originally hailing from California and now based in London, newcomer Stottie is a singer-songwriter and producer arriving on the indie pop music scene. Though they’re just beginning their journey as a solo artist, Stottie’s creative endeavour has been years in the making.
Influenced by the likes of Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens, Stottie’s sound carries the emotional pull and meaningful lyricism that comes with years of reflection on their musical output. Having spent considerable time perfecting their unique sound, Stottie recently made their debut with the single “Blue,” a track that offers the first window into their original musical world.
Recorded and produced in London, “Blue” marks Stottie’s official introduction to the world via a song that explores the concept of seeing life through different lenses and what it feels like to view the world with a certain tint, in this case, blue. It’s a meditation on perspective, exploring how the emotional filters we place on our experiences can shape the way we journey through life.
Setting a delicate atmosphere, soft piano tones craft an intimate scene as Stottie’s elegant vocals float above, gliding alongside intricate plinks to form a dreamy musical fabric. Flowing with intricate instrumental textures and pieced together by alluring vocal melodies, “Blue” offers a spellbinding listening experience.
Subtly building with hushed percussive elements, the gentle sway of lilting rhythm and airy arrangement provides an ethereal sound. Soothing guitar and string touches combine with the electronic-tinged drums as Stottie threads dazzling vocal lines throughout, resulting in a truly charming aesthetic that feels at once timeless and forward-thinking.
It’s a magical outing of tender songwriting and graceful vocals carrying heartfelt lyrics, marking Stottie’s emergence as a compelling new artist and we can’t wait to see what else they’ve got in store for the rest of the year and beyond. Commenting on the release, Stottie shars, “I’ve been making music behind the scenes for a while now and am so excited to share new music. This is a new voice for me, and I hope it resonates.”
