Stellie - ‘Killing Time’

You can tell when a musician feels at home in their sound. And on her new single ‘Killing Time’, pop powerhouse Stellie is sitting comfortably in the genre she dominates.

The four-minute track is an ‘ode to her lover’, a song that shades the world in a rosy hue. Of course, love is a powerful topic for all songwriters. But ‘Killing Time’ never comes close to cringe or sickly sweet. Instead, Stellie pairs her tender thoughts with a pop production that follows the formula of what made Katy Perry’s ‘The One That Got Away’ such a success. It’s expansive and atmospheric – a dreamy sound that makes you want to jump in the car and cruise along a highway with the person you adore the most.

Sounds like: That forever kind of shit.
