Stela Cole (@callmestelacole Hollyn Shadinger) is a rising singer-songwriter in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, she released a cinematic music video for her new electro-pop single, “Blood Orange Wine.”
Stela Cole – “Blood Orange Wine” music video
“‘Blood Orange Wine’ is about the adrenaline wearing off after being emotionally yanked around by a person I loved. For months I was turning to vices to bury the pain and I soundtracked this period of my life with a lot of Fleetwood Mac and Electric Light Orchestra. I’m not surprised they ended up having a huge influence on how the record ended up sounding. It turns out that time is the only thing that truly heals, and honestly thank God for that.” – Stela Cole explained
The accompanying visuals are cinematically thrilling with Stela Cole teaming up with award-winning directors Eliot Lee and Maya Sassoon, and co-star Noah Gonzalez, to create a dramatic and enthralling storyline.
Partnering with Eliot Lee, Stela has created a cinematic world through a series of music videos and vignettes featuring co-star Noah Gonzalez. Each piece of content is thoughtfully connected in an endless loop. These loops, repetitive cycles, or habits inspired the themes of Stela’s upcoming body of work.

2022 saw Stela Cole hit the one million monthly listener mark, 4x her social media following, and have her strongest streaming year to date. She felt mentally and emotionally apart from herself. Creatively unfulfilled, overwhelmed, and uninspired by social media, Stela used 2023 to address her mental health, exit her label deal, black out her profiles, delete the apps, and trade doom scrolling for her guitar, the studio, and her favorite records.
Working closely with a core group of collaborators, Stela has meticulously crafted a sonic world inspired by Fleetwood Mac, The Mama’s and Papa’s, Tame Impala, The Eagles, Arctic Monkeys, and more. The result is more than a musical evolution; it’s a rebirth.

Debut single “Die Hard” thrusts Stela’s vocals into the spotlight with a performance that is equally flawless and harrowing. The accompanying music video delicately mirrors this duality with an insidious narrative and goosebumps-inducing finale.

Second release “Midnight Killer” is an autobiographical song filled with healing. Stela confides, “It’s about the revival of empowerment and re-discovery after losing myself. It’s about becoming stronger through the pain and learning how to protect my heart and energy moving forward. It’s the Phoenix rising from the ashes. No more sacrificing my character. No more losing myself.”
