Estella Dawn is a singer-songwriter and indie-alt-pop artist originally from New Zealand, now based in San Diego. She's been doing the work, I remember her music from years ago, even at the beginning of CHILLFILTRĀ®.
I am super impressed with her latest single "Julian." It brings together much of what makes her music exceptional, namely: a very heartfelt and relatable persona that inhabits the lyrics, coupled with a spellbinding vocal presence & a hand at songwriting that hints at many years in the trade. This is fresh, gritty, and masterful music at the intersection of Indie rock and a confessional singer-songwriter.
What about when I need more?
Feel cracks up the fault line
Can't trust your intention
So I question shit when it feels right
You act like you love me
Then pull right back like a riptide
I'm making excuses for you
And I shouldn't be
Praying you come into focus
