Stella Katherine Cole (from our “Flowers” remake) has a voice from another era and a mission to bring the Great American Songbook to a whole new generation of fans. In her second PMJ video, we took Billy Joel’s 1983 classic, “Uptown Girl” back to the days of Judy Garland, in this Old Hollywood-style up tempo jazz remake.

This has so much Judy Garland energy that I'm just reminded that this is why we still love Judy so much... she was an entertainer for the ages

[@jsizemo]

Not only her energy, but her vocal cadence

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

Brilliant version, wonderful arrangement and fabulous singer. It’s amazing how great songs are still great no matter what style they’re sung in.

[@raysun2be]

Totally agree! There's nothing I can add that you haven't said so well!

[@bhd7721]

Yes but she's no Judy Garland

[@vodagheorghestelian]

@@bhd7721 Really, she's not Judy Garland, she's a better version!

[@bhd7721]

@@vodagheorghestelian than Judy you've got to be kidding me

[@HerrLamprecht]

It's amazing how great styles are still great no matter what songs they are applied to.

[@marcosleblanc9029]

Stella is an absolute QUEEN and collabs with PMJ is exactly what my soul needs!

[@fayelinae]

Usually I'm sceptical whenever somebody dares to try Judy Garland's style, but Stella did a fantastic job, really! You can tell that Judy's been a big inspiration for her, she sounds so much like her :)

[@TheTeamIsSHaRP]

The color of her voice and vintage accent is pleasing to my ears.

[@jackblair5776]

What a great tempo! One of the wonderful things about PMJ is the amazing dynamics they achieve when playing as an ensemble… the ability to hold back and soften things up a little so that when the time comes to punch it up, we really feel it. Stella Katherine Cole has the ideal voice for this. A full-range contralto with that unique head-tone delivery that can peel back the decades allowing us to escape into a more innocent time. Plus, her performance is simply joyful! If you ever need reason to see these folks in person, this should be all it takes. Another brilliant artistic achievement from the masters of time!

[@wade_west]

Her rhythm scheme is magnificent

[@Loona_]

I saw this one live so im happy it has a studio version now

[@____username____]

Same! I saw her preform this at her first live show in Poughkeepsie NY

[@chong2389]

Wow! The reharmonization from 2:06 to 2:12 is the icing on the cake of an already fantastic arrangement. The performance is perfect!

[@genekisayan6564]

The musicality they displaced is just nuts, this is really something 🤯

[@rhyfeddu]

Would you mind explaining "reharmonization"? I can hear what you "flagged" and they're complex and intriguing moments, but I don't understand how it what they're doing there...

[@chong2389]

@@rhyfeddu Scott substituted the original chords in the song between the timestamps with chords that are unrelated to the original key while using the notes of the original melody.

[@rhyfeddu]

@@chong2389 Thank you!

[@NoName-fx9zi]

They also did something similar in the closeout chorus line starting @2:30. Changing up the key and chord progressions underneath the same melody has always been a staple of many a jazz remake throughout history, they did a phenomenal job with this.

[@postmodernjukebox]

"Wake up honey, the new PMJ x Stella Katherine Cole video just dropped!" Greetings from tour rehearsals...see Stella sing this one live on #PMJtour in Australia & New Zealand in August & September!

Stella’s coming to Australia?! How did I not know this? There better be Sydney tickets left.

[@alissalobo]

Please please please What was I made for

[@ronanportley4409]

Great performance !!👍- my only reservation is why is a woman singing " Uptown girl"🤔- shouldn't it be a man??-

[@gregvanpaassen]

Great arrangement, Scott! You don't get nearly enough recognition in the comments.

[@stellakcole]

YESSS the most fun arrangement of all time!!! I’m obsessed !! Come see me with PMJ on tour in Australia and New Zealand this month ❤️❤️ XOXO

[@RedKombiSafaris]

Can't wait for your album! This is brilliant!

Congrats to our Stella by Starlight! 💫

[@Kasia3127]

She really takes us back to the era so well, I love her tone

[@nbassasin8092]

Any PostmodernJukebox cover graced with presence and beauty of Stella Katherine Cole and her smile is an immediate like and yes from me

[@Tequila4Two]

Tambourine guy is back! First watch I didn't noticed him, and saw his name in the credits. So I had to rewatch. Not even barely a second, but that big smile wil make anyones day.

[@zandermetrakos2637]

50 more covers with Stella please

[@nalkarj2840]

That this song works so well in this style points to just how traditional Billy Joel’s songwriting is. I mean that as a compliment-his music is in the great tradition of American songwriting, as much Harold Arlen and rock ’n’ roll.

[@ShayTheValiant]

Yes, please do more classic songs!

[@prismo1]

This is absolutely perfect. Billy Joel classic and a wonderful style to use! Thank you all!😊

[@3rdpiglet]

Pmj never disappoints, it is that simple and that good

[@brigitterolens]

STELLA COLE!!!! BABY SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!! SO PROUD, BEAUTIFUL RENDITION!!

[@vipahman]

Love this version. Another PMJ classic!

[@Edmonton-of2ec]

Stella’s hat and dress are fabulous. It’s the little things like that that truly make a performance

[@billparrish4385]

I cannot stop smiling every time I see/hear Stella sing! The lady IS an endorphin rush!!!

[@tracieolin8387]

So refreshing to hear a rich vocal in todays musical world❣️

[@bjjguyphila]

I really love this singer! And I love her dream to keep the Great American Songbook alive!

[@mrdaym]

Usually I at least want to glance at the other performers during their performance but I just can't stop staring at Stella. She's entertainment defined.

[@-TheOracle-]

I have never heard the words "time" and "mind" sound so beautiful than in this rendition. So Lennon Sistersish! Such a dish!

[@matthewramsey4795]

Hard agree on everything here! I'd repeated that first bit with "mind" and "time" many times already!❤

[@chickensays]

Stella with PMJ is the most obvious match made in heaven

[@BethanyPowers-bn7kg]

Wooooow the Judy Garland is palpable. Amazing performance

[@marklewis298]

This cover is one of PMJ's Best Ever!!! And Stella knocked this version - Out Of The Park!!!

[@Eric_s_Channel]

I'm so Happy that you did this with Stella.. i'm following her and she's so talented and charming!!

[@igormaxwel6093]

My favourite Billy Joel song, and now in this PMJ version is simply perfect... Thank you from Brazil! 🎶

[@joemedley195]

I hope that made Billy Joel smile as much as it made me smile.

[@jsloanhpi]

Always great to see takes on songs older than a year or two, they’re usually pretty darn good. Singer nails the style for sure!

[@lelapinnoir81]

Yaiiii, Mrs. Maisel is back ! 😜😍 Another amazing performance, thank you so much ❤

[@xanthippikipou2531]

Yeah, that's what I thought🤩🤩

[@baum6721]

[@kaligriffin]

I followed her tiktok immediately after the first video i saw of hers. Her voice is so you're unique and pleasant.

[@smalls9852]

You had me from the first few notes but then you added an incredible singer and I am completely blown away! ❤

[@Lady_dromeda]

I love how this still works for the time period it would have been in (in Judy’s earlier singing days)

[@davesalisbury1820]

What a fun version…. Pure joy and wonder! Thank You!

[@rafascarvalho]

I always wonder how the original artists would react to these covers. I think Mr. Joel would like this, though. It's amazing. Everything you folks of PMJ do, you knock it out of the park!

Belíssimo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@creatinotionchannel2680]

Interesting to have this in the 2020s - an 80s song done in the style of 60s Four Seasons songs and now in the style of the 1940s. Pretty elaborate. Sounds great!

[@alawrenced]

Yeah, this is flawless and truly inspiring. Brilliant!

[@missbubu1611]

I’m so used to flat, one dimensional music that an arrangement and singing like this delights my ears to no end.

uptown girl, you know I can't afford to buy her pearls. but maybe someday when my ship comes.......(3... 2... 1...) IIIIIN!!!! SHE'LL UNDERSTANDS THE KIND OF GUY I'VE BEEN, AND THEN I WIN. I love it!

[@jeremygilby1455]

Christie Brinkley approves.

[@cloud4132]

Very jolly and classy performance, a great balance of formal and fun for this style. Beautiful job guys! I also read a comment on the previous video where you stated you make music for people and not algorithms, that attitude and humility is why your audience never gets bored, because of the souls behind this. Much love peeps.

[@MarkGalbraithVideos]

Excellent work as always. Good to see Adam working hard in the background too ! I look forward to seeing Stella perform live on stage one day soon. I predict 1 million + views for this one...
