Molly Stone, the artist often described as having a “sweet voice and a sharp tongue,” returns with The Softies, a four-track EP that leans into gentleness while still holding onto the honesty and edge that define her songwriting.
Known for pairing vulnerability with a dose of wit, Stone has built a reputation for songs that feel tender on the surface but carry real emotional weight underneath. Her music often walks the line between sweetness and self-awareness, creating a style that feels unmistakably her own. With The Softies, she takes a more stripped-back approach, putting the focus squarely on intimate storytelling, soft melodies, and clear, heartfelt emotion.
Written over the past few years, the EP gathers some of Molly’s quieter and more reflective songs. Rather than following one strict theme, the project is tied together by mood and feeling. “I picked out my gentle songs and thought it would be nice to release them together in one bundle,” she says. The result is a small but thoughtful collection that shows how softness can still carry strength.
Musically, The Softies draws from folk, pop, and acoustic singer-songwriter traditions. Fans of artists like Taylor Swift, Lily Allen, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ed Sheeran will likely feel at home here. Tracks such as “Maybe I’m a Handful” and “Glitter” highlight Molly’s candid songwriting style, while “You Left So Suddenly” reflects on the loss of her father with restraint and quiet grace. The EP closes with “I Just Wanna Give You Love,” a warm, heartfelt collaboration with Nathan Thomas.
The Softies may be a more understated release, but it’s also one of Molly Stone’s most personal. In these four songs, she shows that vulnerability, when handled with honesty, can be just as powerful as any bold statement.
