Tundi Adbimpe - thee Black Boltz

Label: Sub Pop Released 4/18/2025 Almost as soon as Stella Chronopoulou began writing Adagio, her fifth album as Stella, she knew the time had finally come to sing in Greek, her native tongue. It would be a first. She started the record almost by accident in 2019, during an 11-hour boat ride to the island of Anafi. Stella had recently gone through a patch of personal turmoil and needed a break from home. On the ferry, she pulled out her cell phone as the boat clipped through the Mediterranean and began with a simple melody, steadily piecing together a rough instrumental. As psychedelic keyboards twinkled and swayed above staccato drums, the track suggested some deep exhalation, as if Stella were letting go of long-unnecessary baggage. For a spell, she set the instrumental aside. She wasn't ready yet, or in a rush.
