| Stella Angelico and The Switch - Mister Funk/Soul, Psychedelic, RnB | 14/03/2012 |
Stella Angelico is a woman who sings because she must, her voice and violent hip shaking performance is an explosion of the untamed feminine.
'Mister' is a handclappin', foot tappin' soul-driven track which could have come right out of 1967. Angelico's vocal are both raw and delicate. She is fierce and fiery in her delivery, evidently a woman you would not want to mess with.

intense lucid dreaming and dark corners of family history from her mixed Lebanese-Australian bloodline.
