IT'S MAGIC [LP]

Stella Cole - It's Magic. Stella Cole sings the Great American Songbook for a new generation. With over 1.6 million social followers, a global tour schedule, and national TV appearances, the 26-year-old artist is bringing timeless standards to fans the world over. On her new album, It's Magic, Stella takes on songs that were familiar but somewhat unconventional, including Stairway to the Stars, My Ideal, and Fools Rush In, all of which utilize the more intimate backing of a string quartet, as opposed to the full 24-part string orchestra. The package varies from classic showtunes, like Till There Was You from The Music Man to iconic film themes, like As Time Goes By, a Stella favorite from Casablanca, Doris Day's 1948 hit It's Magic, from Romance on the High Seas, and Burt Bacharach's main title theme from Alfie (1966). Above all, there are jazz and songbook standards, like Say It and The Touch of Your Lips.
