Reviewed Stella Donnelly's exquisite new album "Love And Fortune " for Under the Radar

Stella Donnelly released a new album, "Love and Fortune," last Friday. Here's Andy Von Pip's (@andyvonpip.bsky.social) review of it.

Lots of strong releases over the past seven days, but @sofiaisella.bsky.social SOFIA ISELLA’s "Out In The Garden" is our track of the week. Darkly cinematic, menacing, and unpredictable, she’s a truly brilliant young artist.

listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social and hearing Farage breathlessly gushing over his friendship with JD Vance and excusing Putin and Trump is not only stomach churning , but also leads me to believe he’s rapidly turning into a 21st century Lord Haw-Haw
Hurrah @sunday1994.bsky.social are back and given current world events, “Doomsday” could not be a more aptly titled new release.
