Zelma Stone - Layla (2019) Hi-Res

Zelma Stone released their first LP Layla with Honey House Records on January 2019. Leading up its release, they busted out a captivatingly strange music video for “Cut Hair,” released the single “Light Bulb Boy,” then headlined a nearly-sold-out Rickshaw Stop, full of fresh-faced fans singing along.

How do they react to the accelerated whirl of their success? They’re refreshingly humbled. “It’s like this switch went off and we started making all of these magical connections. All these little things started coming in from the universe they’re saying Yes, keep going, this is what you’re supposed to be doing,” says frontwoman Chloe Zelma Studebaker.
