On ‘Speaking Terms’, Stella Bridie faces fear with humour as she stoically addresses the inner and external uglies that hinder. Flagrantly frank – not be confused as begrudgingly – she digs deep to find the guts that transform one’s personhood. Potent and primal, her EP debut is set to establish Stella Bridie’s voice as a necessary addition to the indie landscape.

A cogent musician and creative across forms, she writes for the long walk home from the party where mind games dance. Balancing the catharsis of indie rock with etchings of pop-impulses – think boygenius crossed with Ethel Cain – she conceptualises disillusionment with gripping imagery. Her seemingly simplistic turn of phrase sung with visceral and affecting intent.

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
