Greek Indie-pop artist tella will bring her luminous new album Adagio to Australia in February in 2026, marking her debut tour down under. Inspired by Mediterranean soul, dreamy pop, and vintage groove, tellas live performance captures the warmth and introspection of Adagio; a hypnotic collection sung in English and Greek that celebrates love, time, and slowing down. Expect an intimate, transportive performance that feels like an escape from Athens to Australia.
About tella
Born Stella Chronopoulou, tella is an Athens-raised pop artist whose sleek, melodic songwriting has made her one of modern Greeces most notable musical exports. She grew up just above the city in a quiet, rural suburban easy going backdrop that subtly colours her warm, unhurried aestheticbefore settling near downtown Athens.
Following her Sub Pop debut Up and Away (2022), she surged past three million monthly Spotify listeners, underscoring her international reach. Adagio (out April 4, 2025) is tellas fifth album and a warm, 27-minute meditation on love, rest, and timesleek pop wrapped in nylon-string guitars and featherlight percussion.
Its spark came during an 11-hour ferry ride to Anafi in 2019, when she sketched the first ideas that would later become Omorfo Mou, marking her first time singing in Greek alongside a tender cover of Litsa Sakellarious 1969 classic Ta Vimata. Written over five years with international collaboratorsincluding !!!s Rafael Cohen and songwriter Gabriel StebbingAdagio was produced by tella and mixed by Edmund Irwin-Singer.
Highlights span the title tracks love letter to slowness, the breezy Baby Brazil, the sweeping 80 Days, the instrumental Corfu, and the sashaying Can I Say.
