Monday Thrill
Stella in the Clouds is about to release the film clip to the Indie Electro number “Monday Thrill”. Directed by Vishal Solanki, the film features interpretive hip hop dance and choreography by Ryan Santiago, set against the faded majestic beauty of Brooklyn’s Coney Island. Edited by Gabriel DosSantos, this video is a beautifully executed montage of elegant man and machine movements juxtaposed with images of surrounding stark post-war architecture.
The soundscape that Stella creates with “Monday Thrill” is haunting and atmospheric. The video clip is a perfect accompaniment to this experimental electronic number featuring neo-soul grooves and a crisp trap beat. “Monday Thrill” is the first installment in a series of music videos that will be released back to back. In this DIY project, all of the music is recorded and produced by multi instrumentalist singer songwriter Stella in the Clouds.

Monday Thrill is a song about letting go and regaining you, that sounds like an Indie- Electro and Alternative R&B fusion with influences of Trip Hop, Neo-soul and Chill Trap.
The track’s fresh production highlights the all-embracing textures of the beat; 808-style, reminiscent of trap music creates a beautiful synergy with lush ambient pads, as well as lo-fi percussion elements. The vocals are highly expressive and emotive, drenched in haunting reverb tones and exploring different melodic ideas.
Ultimately, “Monday Thrill” sets a dark mysterious vibe, with soothing and sexy vocals. The nocturnal, dream-like atmosphere feels entrancing and hypnotic, but also energetic and groove-driven. This song would feel equally at home in your headphones, walking around at night, or blaring from the loudspeakers of a night club, highlighting the track’s incredible versatility and finesse.
About Stella in the Clouds
Stella In The Clouds is an French-born singer, songwriter, producer, artist and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, NYC. Her sound seamlessly explores various genres, ranging from the haunting textures of trip-hop and electronic music, to classical phrasings, pop, and folk. Somewhere between Radiohead meets Cat Power, her music sets an introspective tone to focus in, relax or contemplate that last drag.
With over ten years of classical training under her belt, on her 2014 release, “Exile On Earth,” Stella set out to experiment with a combination of folk, chamber and pop, utilizing different instruments to achieve changing moods and aesthetics. Her sound developed into something new and exciting by the time she released her second studio effort, “Awake We Dream.” This time around, Stella was inspired by modern composers, post-art-rock as well as trip-hop and chill-wave. The sound of this release is emotional and mesmerized, with intriguing arrangements and honest performances, that carries like an hypnotic dream.
