Showcasing some of the Estella Dawn's most intricate and near-EDM-style production techniques, 'Steal Your Girl' balances minimalism of melody with evolution of design, for a structure that’s smooth yet snappy, and rightfully drops in with a bang each time the hook returns. The pre-chorus in particular helps elevate this, taking us through an intimate, breathy moment of quiet contemplation, before the ultimate redirection strikes as our protagonist swoops in for the steal. Always a master of incorporating unexpected twists in both lyrical substance and musicality, Estella’s approach is consistently refreshing – forever pushing the boundaries of contemporary and traditional pop, with stories and set-ups that intrigue and satisfy in newly creative ways. For ‘Steal Your Girl’ we get a touch of Lady Gaga influence in both that gamer-esque bass-line and the distant vocal inflections; the sort that bring a sense of choral presence and color to the stage.
