Stella was born beside the sea and raised by a Canadian nanny who waterskied topless. Following the release of two standout singles - "Samba" and "The Race" - the Athens-based artist is ready to share "The Break", her international debut.

Self-produced, and recorded primarily at her home studio, "The Break" brings together all the playfulness and spontaneity that characterizes Stella's music: non-standard pop deviations whose shimmering feel-good surfaces are anchored by a powerful undertow of melancholy.

Stella explains, "The Break has a lot to do with an "inner break" I was experiencing at the time.

I intensely felt that I was moving from one place to another, musically and personally.

I mean, if we look at the cover, I've turned myself into a bird and the circle - for me - indicates two different dimensions.

Making it made me feel that I really wanted this music to travel, to infinity and beyond." Her two previous solo albums - her self-titled 2015 debut "Stella" and 2017's "Works For You" - brought her critical momentum and made her one of Greece's most popular indie stars.
