Our girl MoZella has released the brand new video for “Stay“. Directed by Judi Krant, the video follows MoZella around the streets and subways of Manhattan as she mulls over a doomed romance she just can’t resist. If the video for “Manhattan” was a dreamy and romantic young woman, consider “Stay” to be the street-smart, hip, well-versed older sister. Take a look below.

Telepathe’s Dance Mother was recently rated #47 on NME’s Top 50 of 2009. Hailed as “a record that shimmers with possibilities, mapping out an alien territory that’s eerily inviting,” Dance Mother “sounds like 2009 for the chief reason that it doesn’t sound like anything else that’s come before it.” You can purchase the album on iTunes from IAMSOUND Records. To see the full review, go to NME’s Best Albums Of 2009.
