about
Stella Talpo returns with her stunning new single ‘Leave’. Psychedelic chords, rich textures, and Stella’s signature smoky vocals pull you into a hypnotic narrative about the possessive grip that an idea, person or addiction can have on you. With a grasp on songwriting well beyond her years and an infectious onstage charm, Stella continues to cement her place in the thriving Neo Soul and Jazz scene in London.

A soulful songstress born in Italy and raised in Asia, Stella Talpo has wanderlust woven in her bones. The now Brixton-based singer released her debut EP, ‘Space’, in June 2016, followed by her hit single ‘Girl’.
lyrics
Who knows how long it’ll take to forgive myself again,
How many nights will pass ‘till I kiss another man.
Took five steps forward and now I’ve fallen back ten,
A bitter heart might be cold but at least it’s in command.
Won’t you just leave,
I can’t breathe.
I learnt from your example to give all I had,
And just like you I wound up making my own bed.
My shadow it won’t follow, it’s paving the road ahead,
Waging a losing war against my poor old head.
Won’t you just leave,
I can’t breathe.
Oh, leave.
Suppose this is all my fault,
I got what I asked for.
Suppose this is all my fault,
I got it, I got it.
Suppose this is all my fault,
I got what I asked for.
Suppose this is all my fault,
I got it, I got it.
Won’t you just leave,
I can’t breathe.
Oh, leave.
