JUST LISTEN: Stella Donnelly "Boys Will Be Boys"

New Feature JUST LISTEN: OpenEars Music was founded originally with one true goal in mind, as a place of discovery to help expose talented new artists. In reality, we are mostly a group of photographers who love to go see live music, and of course, shoot live music. We wish we had the time and resources to write about all the rad new music being sent our way everyday. Let’s be honest though, if you are one of those with really open ears, open to new artists, and open to something potentially unique like us, then our words only go so far. You listen for yourself and make your own decisions on the music you like. JUST LISTEN is a place for us to present our latest finds that we are digging. No words needed, just listen…..

JUST LISTEN: Stella Donnelly “Boys Will Be Boys”

The Deets:

Who: Stella Donnelly
Song: “Boys Will Be Boys”
Appears On: Thrush Metal (Debut EP released 2017)
Current Location: Western Australia
Info: Donnelly told NPR Music, “’Boys Will Be Boys’ was written in late 2016 and is an attempt at making sense of society’s tendency to blame the victims of sexual assault and rape and make excuses for the perpetrators. Writing this also helped me work through things that had happened to not only my friends but to me as well, it helped me relieve a lot of the shame that victims are so often forced to feel in silence. I hope that this song along with the video will open up difficult yet important conversations between family members, friends, government bodies, organizations and most importantly, boys and men.”
Genre: singer songwriter / guitar pop.
Comments: A stunning song from a new Australian songwriter ready to be heard throughout the world. Gorgeous and sickening at the same time, “Boys Will Be Boys” is relevant to today’s conversations.
