New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Stella Cole, the "rising star vocalist" (Jazziz) who released her self-titled debut album earlier this year, has returned with a holiday EP Snow! out now on La Reserve Records. The seven-song collection includes holiday favorites like "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas," "White Christmas," and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," plus lesser-known classics like "That's What I Want for Christmas" (originally recorded by Nancy Wilson) and "Snow (feat. Darren Criss)" (written by Irving Berlin). The first five tracks feature gorgeous string arrangements by multiple GRAMMY winner Alan Broadbent (Natalie Cole, Diana Krall). The EP also features "Christmas Dreaming," which already has over 1M streams on DSPs.
"One of my favorite moments every year is sitting down with my family, hot chocolate in hand, to watch White Christmas and Meet Me in St Louis," says Stella. "Singing songs from those movies with a string orchestra was an absolute dream come true."
Snow! is produced by Matt Pierson and mixed and mastered by Chris Allen.
Last month, Stella stopped by the Tamron Hall Show to discuss her rise on social media and perform "Moon River" from her debut album.
Stella Cole is quickly becoming known for her signature mix of jazz standards, Broadway gems, and beloved tunes from the Great American Songbook. Her sound is familiar, yet fresh and stands at the crossroads of past and present, classic and contemporary. Stella's commanding stage presence and captivating voice have ushered her from rural Illinois to performing on some of the most prestigious stages in the world, including Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Birdland, and the Café Carlyle.
Stella's impact as a viral artist and live performer continues to grow. Her enchanting voice has resonated with a new wave of traditional pop fans on social media, where she boasts over 1.8 million followers across platforms. Her well-received cover videos of classics by legends like Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand have attracted the attention of notable artists such as James Taylor, David Foster, Michael Bublé, and Meghan Trainor. Stella will tour across the globe for the remainder of 2024 and throughout 2025. Please find all announced dates below. For tickets and more information, please visit https://www.stellacole.net/.
