Acclaimed singer-songwriter Stela Cole has just shared her latest single and music video. Called "Die Hard", the track is the strongest to date and is a preview of more music to come from this vocal standout.
With "Die Hard", Stela shares a song all about tumultuous relationships; those that are up and down and caught in endless cycles of pain and pleasure. Lyrics including, "no matter what I do / there's no escaping you / you're no good for me / but I'll never sober up / you play me like a guitar," show just how deep into the entanglement she is, even though she knows it's dangerous emotionally. Sonically, "Die Hard" highlights Stela's all encompassing vocal tone that leaves the listener hanging on every note. A dark guitar riff adds to the intrigue along with sweeping strings and moody musical backdrops. The accompanying music video by Award-Winning Director Eliot Lee, is awe inspiring and shows Stela at a dark bar confronting a lover. She takes the stage and as she sings to him, her body starts to bleed from the inside, showing the metaphoric destruction he has caused. This haunting narrative is deeply captivating and is just another example of what a true artist Stela is.
Stela Cole is a musical triumph who began sharing her own music in 2018. 2024 marks a sonic shift for the artist who found inspiration in her favorite records by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, and more. Taking a break from the chaos of the industry and social media last year, has led the Stela to focus on what she does best, creating. The result is her strongest work to date.
