Emerging artist Stottie has made their debut with the single “Blue,” a track that merges singer-songwriter sensitivity with electronic innovation.
Released across all major streaming platforms, “Blue” marks Stottie’s transition from a background role in music production to the forefront as a solo artist. Despite being notably absent from social media for over a decade, Stottie’s entrance into the music scene is bold and introspective.
“Blue” is described by Stottie as a personal reflection on the omnipresence of a loved one in one’s thoughts, an emotion that’s captured through the song’s lyrical and sonic depth.
Incorporating everyday sounds into the track’s percussion, Stottie infuses a sense of raw, unfiltered reality into the music, setting it apart from more polished mainstream tracks. This choice underscores the song’s theme of constant, pervasive thought—mirroring how ordinary elements persist in our daily lives.
Critics have praised the single, with York Calling highlighting Stottie’s “wonderfully delicate” vocals and Obscure Sound calling the track “lushly impactful pop.” These reviews point to a well-received entry into the music industry, promising a new voice in the pop and electronic genres that honors authenticity and emotional clarity.
Stottie is also committed to gender equity in the music industry, evident in their collaboration with female and gender-diverse professionals in producing “Blue.”
The track was not only written and produced by Stottie but also benefited from the expertise of Katie May from Real World Studio and Cicely Balston, MPG’s Mastering Engineer of the Year, ensuring a sound that’s both expertly crafted and deeply personal.
As Stottie prepares for upcoming performances in London this winter, fans and new listeners alike can expect a series of shows that will further showcase the unique talents and vision of this promising new artist.
