Career

[edit]

2012–2018: Early work, acting and Love, Me

[edit]

Stella began her career performing alongside younger sister Maisy Stella as part of the duo Lennon & Maisy. She starred as Maddie Conrad in the musical soap opera Nashville (2012–2018), and wrote and performed a number of songs for the soundtrack.

In January 2018, it was announced that Stella had signed a record deal with Records and Columbia Records.[1] In 2018, Stella featured on the track "Polaroid" with Jonas Blue and Liam Payne. On November 16, 2018, she released her debut extended play, Love, Me, featuring previously released singles "Bad", "Breakaway", and "Fortress", marking the start of her solo music career.[2]

2019–present: Established solo music career and Three. Two. One.

[edit]

In May and June 2019, Stella opened for Anne-Marie on her Speak Your Mind Tour.[3] She collaborated with The Chainsmokers and Illenium for a single titled "Takeaway" which was released on July 24, 2019.[4] That same year, she toured as an opening act with 5 Seconds of Summer for the Chainsmokers' World War Joy Tour.[5][6][7] In February 2020, she won a Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, making this the first award she has received.

Stella's debut solo album, Three. Two. One. (2020), was praised by critics and achieved commercial success. In The Observer, critic Kitty Empire calls it "strikingly serene".[8] In Exclaim!, Ariel Matheson gives it an 8/10 and calls it a "feminine powerhouse".[9] It reached number 80 on the US Billboard 200 and appeared on numerous other charts, while the single "Kissing Other People" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In 2021, Stella reunited with her younger sister for the song "While You Sleep" from the soundtrack of the HBO Max film The Fallout. In January 2022, she performed a cover of "Hey, Beautiful" by The Solids as the theme song for the spin-off How I Met Your Father. She has since released the independent singles "Fancy" (2021), "Bubble" (2021), and "Thank You" (2022).

Artistry

[edit]

Lennon Stella is mainly described as an indie pop and pop musician whose music is "R&B tinged".[10][11][12] Her debut EP is described as a dance-club record.[13]
