Molly Stone, the artist known for her “sweet voice, sharp tongue, unapologetically Molly” approach to songwriting, returns with The Softies, a four-track EP that leans into gentleness without ever losing its bite. Premiering via Music Crowns, the release further cements Stone’s reputation for crafting songs that feel delicate on the surface while cutting straight to the emotional core.
Recognised for blending vulnerability with wit, Stone has steadily built a catalogue that balances softness and strength in equal measure. On The Softies, she strips things back even further, spotlighting intimate songwriting, tender melodies, and emotional clarity. Across just four tracks and 13 minutes and 33 seconds, the EP makes a quiet but lasting impression.
Written over the last few years, The Softies gathers together Molly’s gentler compositions — not bound by a single narrative, but unified by feeling. “I picked out my gentle songs and thought it would be nice to release them all together in a bundle,” she explains. The result is a softly intentional project that proves tenderness can still be powerful, and that sweetness never equates to submission.
Sonically rooted in folk, pop, and acoustic singer-songwriter traditions, the EP will resonate with fans of Taylor Swift, Lily Allen, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ed Sheeran. Tracks like “Maybe I’m a Handful” and “Glitter” showcase Stone’s signature honesty and lyrical precision, while “You Left So Suddenly” is a restrained, graceful exploration of grief following her father’s passing. Closing track “I Just Wanna Give You Love”, featuring Nathan Thomas, offers warmth and connection without losing emotional edge.
The Softies may be a quieter release, but it’s no less deliberate. It’s Molly Stone at her most tender, self-assured, and emotionally precise — a reminder that vulnerability, when handled with this much clarity, can be its own kind of power. The EP is released with support from Decent Music PR, continuing Stone’s steady rise as one of the most emotionally articulate voices in contemporary singer-songwriting.
