New pop ballad from New Zealand singer Estella Dawn embraces body positivity.
(Denver, Colorado)
‘Pretty’ is a pop ballad the perfectly showcases this naturally gifted vocalist who at one point was a star on “New Zealand’s Got Talent.” The driving piano melody immediately sets the tone, giving way to harmonies that display Estella’s sultry and soulful vocals. This is a song that people need to pay attention to, not only because it introduces an artist who is poised for international success, but also because of the message behind the music.
“This song has nothing to do with aesthetics or being attractive,” Estella said. “In my opinion, that ’s the least interesting thing about a person. But feeling confident, comfortable and empowered in your body is important. To me, that is true beauty.”
This is the latest single from Estella Dawn who has been steadily making a name for herself since moving to the US. Like many songwriters Estella has been writing, recording and releasing music from an early age. However it has been in the last 3 years that she has refined her craft and developed her own style that is clearly shown in the 13 singles she’s released since early 2020. These songs show a unique command of melodies, with a subtlety and range that are a personal and social exploration of life. They contain multiple layers – both vocally and musically. Soft and soothing but also sharp and gritty when needed. And with that maturity she has been compared to Adele, Billie Eilish, Pink and Hayley Williams to name a few.
"Melodically engaging, beautifully uplifting and subtly catchy, Pretty works hard to reignite the essence of modern RnB and pop, whilst injecting a clearly inspiring edge of reality; and a bold reminder of the things that truly matter in life. " Rebecca Cullen, STEREO STICKMAN.
