When you feel like you’ve hit your own personal rock bottom, when you’re frustrated with the world, with yourself, with everybody around you, when it’s hard to feel positive because it feels like life is throwing punch after punch at you and you don’t feel like you have the strength to take it. In the words of artist Estella Dawn, “sometimes you just need to let tears flow and cleanse the things that you can’t control.”
Dawn has strong views about the world and isn’t afraid to share them through her engaging, candid music. “I’ve always seen my internal darkness as wolves, I’m either part of the pack, or on the run from the parts of myself that scare me. But no matter which side I’m on, they’re always there. When the pack is descending and my mind starts spiraling it feels like all I can do is keep my head down and set one foot in front of the other, just getting through the day in hope of a better tomorrow.”
She adds, “we all have our own ways to cope, whether it’s having a cry sitting on the floor of your shower or screaming along to aggressive rock music in the car, buying too many house plants or finding comfort in somebody else's company, drinking, smoking, eating, the list goes on. We’re all just doing our best.”

“Estella Dawn brings us another sample of her compositional and vocal ability. "Vixen" is a song that carries, in its poetics, a powerful message. That power, too, is reflected in the instrumental aspect of the song, and in the beautiful intensity of the song's vocal section.”
“Estella Dawn is a talent that needs to get her time in the spotlight. The moment you hear her voice cut through you are reminded almost of an Alicia Keys-esc power ballad.” Fernando Nunez - VISUAL ATELIER 8
