Naarm-based, Boorloo-raised singer-songwriter Stella Donnelly has announced the release of her much-anticipated third album, Love and Fortune.
Arriving November 7 via Dot Dash Recordings/Remote Control (pre-order here), Love and Fortune contains 11 tracks, including the previously released singles ‘Standing Ovation’ and ‘Baths’ and new tune ‘Feel It Change’.
Expressing the feelings that come with a relationship breakdown, ‘Feel It Change’ is quintessential Donnelly and sure to please fans of the Aussie songstress.
“I wrote this song on a baritone guitar in the shed of my sharehouse, plugged into all of my housemate’s overdrive pedals,” Stella says of the track.
“I think the neighbours started getting shitty after a while because I stewed on the same chords for ages. It’s about the rumination of slowly peeling off the band-aid of a relationship that was doomed to fall apart. Trying to capture that phase of a break-up where all you do is bristle and fizz in resentment and finger-pointing.”

Getting her start playing Green Day covers in her high school band, Donnelly went on to study contemporary and jazz music at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA).
Releasing her first project, the EP Thrush Metal, in 2017, Donnelly started to make waves both locally and internationally. Her 2019 debut album, Beware the Dogs, peaked at #15 on the ARIA Album Chart and received rave reviews from press across the globe. NME called it “enthralling and hugely relevant,” while Pitchfork wrote the record was “fierce, funny, and unsettling.”
Donnelly’s sophomore album, Flood, arrived in 2022, and since then she’s been touring and working on new music, with Love and Fortune an exciting new chapter in Donnelly’s musical journey.
‘Feel It Change’ by Stella Donnelly is out now. Love And Fortune arrives via Dot Dash Recordings/Remote Control Friday 7 November. Pre-order/pre-save here.
