Austra

Austra, the pop project of Canadian vocalist and composer Katie Stelmanis, returns with “Chin Up Buttercup” (out November 14 on Domino Records) — a cathartic collection of hypnotic dance anthems and vulnerable ballads inspired by heartbreak. Known for her operatic voice and bold artistry, Stelmanis transforms personal grief into euphoric, Eurodance-influenced songs that balance chaos and elegance. With lyrics both raw and poetic, Austra delivers an album that invites listeners to dance through sorrow and embrace the beauty in emotional intensity.
