Stella Cole sings the Great American Songbook for a new generation. With over 1.6 million social followers, a global tour schedule, and national TV appearances, the 26-year-old artist is bringing timeless standards to fans the world over. On her new album, It’s Magic, Stella takes on songs that were familiar but somewhat unconventional, including “Stairway to the Stars,” “My Ideal,” and “Fools Rush In,” all of which utilize the more intimate backing of a string quartet, as opposed to the full 24-part string orchestra. The package varies from classic showtunes, like “Till There Was You” from The Music Man to iconic film themes, like “As Time Goes By,” a Stella favorite from Casablanca, Doris Day’s 1948 hit “It’s Magic,” from Romance on the High Seas, and Burt Bacharach’s main title theme from Alfie (1966). Above all, there are jazz and songbook standards, like “Say It” and “The Touch of Your Lips.”
