When Stella Katsoudas, singing under her stage name Sister Soleil, busted into heavy rotation in multiple major-market radio stations as an unsigned artist in the late 1990s, her claim to fame was a single song off her first alternative rock EP called Red. To say that breaking into major-market stations as an unsigned artist was difficult is a profound understatement. There was a bidding war to sign her; as one top music executive noted of her initial EP, Drown Me in You, “This is a hit. I could release this whole EP right now.” It included two standouts: Red, and another dynamic single that dominated at live shows, called Chair. But after Katsoudas signed with Universal Music Group in 1997, the entire EP was shelved. She re-recorded many of the songs for her first signed album, Soularium, which veered into more of a pop sound; unfortunately, the later recordings didn’t have the raw, soulful energy of Drown Me in You—an energy that emerged at live shows into the 2010s. Her second standout single off Drown Me in You—which some considered even better in Red—was lost to history. For a time. Chair is a song Katsoudas has been sitting on for 26 years—a song never released to radio, despite being one of the most compelling live hits from Katsoudas’s heyday. She now has the rights to it, and some radio stations have started to pick it up. “I always knew this was a hit song, because of the hooks,” Katsoudas says. “That was reinforced by the way people would react when I played it live. Even as late as 2011, I played a show in Omaha with a bunch of kids in the audience, and they flipped out for it. I remember thinking, ‘this song still works!’ ” Sister Soleil, who also sang under the stage name Stella Soleil and was later the frontwoman for the band Dirty Little Rabbits, was an alternative rock singer who released two albums with Universal, Soularium in 1997 and Dirty Little Secret in 2001. She also released the self-titled EP, Dirty Little Rabbits, with Sony Records in 2007.
