There’s something captivating about Stella Donnelly, an up-and-coming talent from Perth, Australia. Armed with an acoustic guitar and her sweet, lilting vocals, she ploughs straight through vapid stereotypes with sharp lyrics and witticisms.  Having only released the beautiful ‘Michelangelo Sky’ to date, Donnelly is back with ‘Mechanical Bull’, which features sharp-edged lyrics such as "I’m going to throw you all off me like a mechanical bull… stay on my back for too long and I’ll spin ya". Couple this with the fact that her debut EP is titled Thrush Metal and you’re left in no doubt that Donnelly is not one to be messed with. ‘Mechanical Bull’ is available for free download via Donnelly’s Soundcloud page. -HM
