It’s all happening in the world of Stella Donnelly. Not only is the accomplished singer-songwriter’s third album, Love and Fortune, arriving next month, but Donnelly has shared new single ‘Year of Trouble’ and announced an Australian tour.
‘Year of Trouble’ follows the previously released singles ‘Standing Ovation’, ‘Feel It Change’ and ‘Baths’, all of which are taken from Donnelly’s new record Love and Fortune, which arrives Friday 7 November via Dot Dash Recordings/Remote Control (pre-order here).
Commenting about the single on social media, Donnelly wrote, “Hey, there’s also a new song out today called ‘Year of Trouble’ which I almost turned into a sad dancefloor moment but decided to keep it real for the feels. Maybe there’ll be a remix one day.” Check it out below.
Donnelly’s Love and Fortune Australian tour includes support from special guests Ullah and Jack Caby and kicks off in Sydney at Oxford Art Factory on Thursday 19 February. Donnelly then performs shows at Brisbane’s The Triffid on Friday 20 February, Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Friday 27 February, Melbourne’s Corner Hotel on Saturday 28 February and Perth’s The Rechabite on Friday 6 March.

Stella Donnelly’s first foray into music was playing Green Day covers in her high school band. Going on to study contemporary and jazz music at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), Donnelly released her first solo project, the EP Thrush Metal, in 2017.
Gaining traction both locally and internationally, Donnelly followed up in 2019 with her highly anticipated debut album, Beware the Dogs, which peaked at #15 on the ARIA Album Chart and received rave reviews from the global music press.
Donnelly’s second album, Flood, was released in 2022, and since then, she has been touring and working on new music, with Love and Fortune marking an exciting new chapter in Donnelly’s musical journey.
Touring Australia in February 2026, Donnelly then heads to the UK and Europe for a run of shows.
