Her popular cover videos of songs popularized by greats like Sara Vaughan, Julie Andrews and Ella Fitzegerald have also captured the attention of James Taylor, Michael Bublé, and Meghan Trainor.

Featuring songs made famous by everyone from Barbra Streisand (“When the Sun Comes Out”) and Judy Garland (“The Boy Next Door” and a classic re-interpretation of “Over the Rainbow”) to Billie Eilish (“My Future”) and Audrey Hepburn (“Moon River”), Stella Cole’s self-titled debut studio album arrives with an impressive vocal recording that serves to position her as a consummate artist in her own right.
