She sings sad songs but with this happy disposition, almost as though she perceives things in a "life is just funny and that there's no need to be jaded by it" kind of way. I love it.

Talk about perfect pitch, this is uncanny. Her vocal control is amazing. I have to remind myself this was a live performance in one take for crying out loud. Had never heard of her, came without any expectations, was somewhat blown away. And that's putting it mildly. Treasuring NPR Tiny Desk for the invaluable source of fresh influences that it is.

@@zzzz1192 not completely true, many talented artists use autotune. Every single recording artist uses some for of pitch correction. Autotune is often used as a vocal effect to add to the style of a track, I mean an unprocessed voice would be completely out of place for an artist like Charli XCX who uses it to add to her futuristic aesthetic. Plus autotune can't fix how awful your singing overall is, there are a hundred more factors that make for a good vocal sound. Everyone always assumes it can fix everything, it really can't.

@@stanconnorstan4266 Yeah that vibrato is really cool. I get that it might be off-putting to some, and I even saw a comment about how "messed up" it was sadly. That being said,I think the latter part is a bit unfortunate when you consider that some people can't make the distinction between what it's supposed to sound like, and what the artist wants it to sound like. Her vibrato is definitely part of her identity. It is obviously identical in every appearance and something she's honed. I really like those touches.

She absolutely kills it on guitar while simultaneously singing like an angel, and somehow makes it all look effortless. She's a true musician in a way that most could only hope to be. Bravo.

Man, nowhere to hide with that clean guitar tone, and every little pluck is perfect, and perfectly in service of the tune.

the way she plucks those guitar strings during u owe me genuinely makes me tear up. i dont know why, they are just so clean and her vocals work so well!!!

She really makes you feel like she's singing just for you

she is extremely talented-vocal control, lyricism, hooks, super clean guitar technique, it's all great. have been listening to her new album lately and it's refreshing and invigorating. always nice to hear someone with a distinct point of view.

The good thing with NPR tiny desk concerts is that whether you will like the artist or not, you can be sure that it won't be time wasted and it will be worth listening to 😊

Beautiful strat tone, a great balance of solid warm bass and delicate steely trebles.

5:39 listen to how she picks those notes to match how she sings 'CCTV' ...lovely

first song is gonna be a strong contender for song of the year 2019. simple yet solid, 'beware of the dogs' is an elegant, dreamy, rallying-against-the-man-at-the-pub, punk tune that distills the divide between abuser and abused into a tight, uplifting warning to the powers that be. stella donnelly's voice control is outstanding, and you really have to view the whole set to truly appreciate the dare-i-say-it judy garland level warbles that she delivers line after line. one perfect performance after the other, whether you're into woke lyrics or raw talent you owe it to yourself to give her a try.

i listened to this while doing homework and when her set ended I looked back and said "that was it?!" ..... I replayed it immediately. love ya stella!

I can listen to Beware of the Dogs when I'm mad, when im sad, and even when I'm happy. Stella nailed it.

Tiny Desk + Colors are two of the most engrossing ways to discover new artists, for me at least. The audio is so crisp on both and expertly mixed, it makes for very easy listening. Pertaining to all artists and namely Stella, I found her randomly by being recommended other Tiny Desk concerts, at first I had a very surface level though, "Oh, she's' very, very cute." And, stupidly I dismissed it and moved on, but there was something very alluring in the presentation and music that made me think of her again, and I returned to this video to watch again and I found myself really enthralled by the melodies and instrumentation she conveys, long story short... Over repeated listening I found myself loving Stella as an artist, I always try to explain this to people, that sometimes it requires more than one or two or even three listens to realize that you enjoy something and that pertains to every aspect of life not just entertainment, and I guess I just want to thank Tiny Desk for being so fucking amazing (even though they probably won't read this at least it's out in the ether of the internet) Thanks Tiny Desk, you're killin' it, shine on you crazy diamond!

It is such a nice feeling to fall in love with new music. Thank you.

I love this album incredibly much so already but her performance here is wonderful. The little inputs of “or Foster’s or whatever” and the little anecdote about her pay after “U owe me” is hilarious and humanizing.

She is fantastic, and I love the new songs. I've been following her since she released her EP, but it's so amazing listening to her live like this, I love her voice.

*creates playlist, puts on loop*

Something about her sound is just so personal to me. I fell in love with it by the first song.

Every word was sung from a personal place. This is music.

....you simply can't do anything else but just fall in love ....with her voice ...with her eyes ....with the way her fingers move across the strings of that so so lucky guitar to have felt her embrace ... I adore you . Simply that .

This really needs more views....brilliant artist.

I've been listing to this so many times right now. Such a great singer. Love her voice!

Her voice is beautiful and her guitar playing is flawless I’m at a loss for words

beautiful voice. Refreshing. Wish songs like this would play on the radio more often.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of the songs is stellar. I love this so much. She is an amazing song writer. Who would have thought of the allergies chord progression? Not me, thats for sure. Wack

I love Stella - it's official There's a heck of a lot of solo artists around at the minute, though! Digging her, obviously Courtney Barnett, Lady Lamb, Sharon Van Etton and Miss Jade Bird.

allergies is so underrated we need it on spotify NOW

Bob and TDC thank you for turning me on to more great performers and musicians as she is one! She is fantastic and her voice is spot on I will now research more of her to enjoy!!!

stella is amazing to watch, the way she's connected with the music is everything

awesome... i love everything about her
