Molly Stone returns with The Softies, a four-track EP that embraces tenderness without losing its signature wit.
Known for her “sweet voice, sharp tongue, unapologetically Molly,” Stone has become a beacon for women redefining strength in contemporary pop and folk.
The EP highlights emotional honesty as a form of empowerment. The track “You Left So Suddenly” confronts heavy topics such personal grief with an uncharisteristic heaviness.
Meanwhile, the more playful “Maybe I’m A Handleful” and “Glitter” are more in line with Stone's previous releases with their playful lyrics. Stone’s approach emphasises vulnerability as a form of agency, with her signature wit in tow.
In addition, Stone’s debut contributes to conversations around female representation in music. In an industry often valuing spectacle and volume, Stone’s intentional, gentle sound demonstrates that soft-spoken storytelling can be compelling,bold and socially resonant.
Collaboration is central to the EP, particularly on “I Just Wanna Give You Love” featuring Nathan Thomas. This track underscores the power of shared emotion, adding depth to the project’s narrative of personal and communal experience.
Through The Softies, Stone consolidates her identity as an artist who blends humour, intelligence, and tenderness. For readers invested in music that prioritises voice, authenticity and emotional clarity, this debut is a compelling example of artistry rooted in female perspective and empowerment.
