Estella Dawn is not just another voice in the pop scene—she’s a force, a presence, and a revelation. Born in New Zealand and now making waves from San Diego, Estella wears many hats: singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. But more than titles, she brings a fierce independence and undeniable talent to everything she creates. Her music doesn’t settle into one lane—it fuses pop, soul, hip-hop, and rock into a sound that’s entirely her own, and people are starting to take serious notice. With over 7 million streams this year alone, she’s clearly tapped into something real.
Tracks like “514 Denim,” “Big Enough,” and “Locked In” are powerful examples of her ability to pair bold, emotionally honest lyrics with rich sonic textures. Her storytelling is fearless, her production polished but never sterile, and her delivery—always, always raw and arresting. That emotional authenticity is exactly what makes Estella’s newest release, a stunning cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game,” so captivating. Released on April 25th, this version isn’t just a cover—it’s a complete reimagining. Estella taps into the haunting beauty of the original but infuses it with her own voice, her own hurt, her own perspective. The result is spine-chilling, seductive, and deeply moving.
Estella says, “I’ve always been a huge fan of Chris Isaak’s work, and ‘”Wicked Game'” is a song that has resonated with so many people. I wanted to bring my own emotional perspective to this incredible track and create an experience that connects with my audience in a fresh, meaningful way.” And that’s exactly what she’s done. Her vocals are nothing short of powerhouse—breathy in one moment, devastatingly strong in the next—each note steeped in longing, control, and quiet intensity. It’s a masterclass in restraint and release, in how to say so much by holding just enough back.
For fans of artists like Jessie Murph, BANKS, or even the chameleonic range of Miley Cyrus, Estella Dawn sits right at home—yet never imitates. She’s charting her own path through the indie-pop universe, fiercely independent and entirely unforgettable. If you haven’t yet dived into her discography, now’s the time. “Wicked Game” is your entry point into a world that’s richly emotional, sonically fearless, and unapologetically hers. Estella Dawn isn’t just redefining pop—she’s rebuilding it from the inside out.
