Melbourne’s rising pop artist Stilla is back and she’s turning up the heat. Her latest single, 'TASTE OF ME', marks her first release since her debut EP ‘STILLAVERSE’ and signals a bold, new era for the independent star. Landing with a burst of funk-pop brilliance on Thursday, 28th August 2025, the track is a confident statement from an artist who’s just getting started.
Co-produced by Stilla herself alongside Nathan Zammit, with Hayden Lauerson (Tentendo, Sophiya) on mixing duties, the song is a slick, genre-bending effort. A killer bassline provides the backbone to the track, driving it forward with an infectious groove that’s impossible not to move to. But it’s Stilla’s charismatic performance and razor-sharp lyrics that really steal the show. The song effortlessly balances provocative and playful tones, showcasing Stilla’s ability to craft a hook that is both biting and fun.
Discussing the new release, Stilla shares, “This is probably the most risqué song I’ve released, lyrically, it’s sarcastic and cheeky, but it’s disguised by how fun it sounds. I wanted to create something that’s daring but still feels like a party.” The party atmosphere is palpable, with hyper-catchy melodies and an unapologetic attitude that's been a hallmark of her work.
Fans of Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande will find a lot to love here, but Stilla is carving out her own space. Her fusion of funk, R&B, and dance-pop sets her apart in the Australian music scene. Having already received glowing praise from Triple J and endorsements from the likes of Charlie Puth and Jesy Nelson, Stilla has proven she can make waves without a major label machine behind her.
To celebrate, Stilla is hosting a pop-up event for her dedicated fans, providing an intimate look into the creative process behind her new sound. The single will also be followed by a series of visualisers, promising a complete, high-concept aesthetic for this new chapter. ‘TASTE OF ME’ is an exciting teaser of what’s to come, leaving listeners hungry for more from the ever-evolving STILLAVERSE.
