Stella’s words on “Old Man”: “I came up with the chords and chorus to this song in 2017 around the time when Woody Allen called the #metoo movement a witch hunt. It was a very strange feeling for me watching the world change right before my eyes and to see that these men who had exploited their power for so long were actually being held accountable for their actions. It made me look back on my experiences as a young woman doing music and certain powerful men who tried to manipulate me and exploit other young women. I needed to write this song for myself because if I hadn’t I would still feel quite angry about things that I probably let slide in my younger, more naive days. I have no intentions of publicly calling out these people but it’s a nice feeling to me knowing that they may hear this song one day and feel perhaps an inch of the humiliation and powerlessness that they inflicted on me back then.”
This is somehow better than I anticipated. I'm even more excited to see her in a couple weeks. Hope she blows up off this.
Interview with Laura Snapes: Stella Donnelly: 'I’m more than happy to cause friction among the right wing'
It’s a fantastic show. Lots of fun and her stage presence is really charming. Opener Faye Webster was incredible too.
Yeah, I loved the tiny desk video and tricks is a bop, definitely looking forward to checking this out. I love the way her voice quivers, especially in the title track on the tiny desk Lauv Changes ringtone
