Estella Dawn has dropped a uptempo track Buzzcut, the first single release from her forthcoming full length out later in the year. Fans of SIA and Taylor Swift will like.

With over 80,000 Spotify monthly listeners, the 24 year old Colorado based artist released a slew of singles and was a semi-finalist on New Zealand’s Got Talent.
