So this is the new year! In 2018, stellar Stella Donnelly<\/strong>\u00a0completely bowled us over with her thralling Thrush Metal<\/em><\/strong> EP (two songs of which were on our Best Songs of 2018<\/a><\/strong> list) and live performances. Donnelly<\/strong> is a very self-aware and gifted songwriter\/vocalist who is not afraid to say her piece about the pieces around her. Amen to that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Australia’s Donnelly<\/strong> has released new song Old Man<\/em><\/strong> via its official video below. The song is a harbinger of hope for her debut album,\u00a0Beware of the Dogs<\/em>,\u00a0<\/strong>which will be released March 8th<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Secretly Canadian<\/strong>. Lyrically (see at bottom), the song is a righteous reproach of the ridiculous rakes that refuse to act their age (in this day and age!) and leave females and young-enoughs alone. This isn’t the first time Donnelly<\/strong> has rightly sounded these themes. Her early song, Boys Will Be Boys<\/em>,\u00a0<\/strong>assaulted victim-blaming and excuse-making inherent in sexual assault aftermaths. Musically, the song jangles and sways, with heavenly harmonies in the chorus (that remind of us of the British band Heavenly<\/strong> from the 80’s), all of which belies the reproach of the message. It’s heaven and hell in a song. Brava!
