April 4 street date. Written and recorded over the span of five years, with a consortium of international collaborators including !!!'s Rafael Cohen and British songwriter Gabriel Stebbing, ?tella's fifth album "Adagio" is a 27-minute meditation on love and desire, rest and time. Almost as soon as Stella Chronopoulou began writing "Adagio", 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. ?tella had recently gone through a patch of personal turmoil and needed a break from home. Longing is the thread that loosely binds together the entrancing "Adagio". Borrowing its name from the term for music that's meant to be played slowly, "Adagio" is a pop record that feels like a very warm blanket, its nylon-string guitars and featherlight percussion swaddling its listeners for three minutes at a time.
