Retro-Inspired Pop Perfecter Stacey Shares Debut Album 'Saturn Return'


LA-based indie pop singer, songwriter and Wurlitzer enthusiast, STACEY, is sharing her retro-celestial, debut album, Saturn Return, today. Cruising from 60s psychedelic day trips to glossy 70s daydreams, STACEY crystallizes the nostalgic longing of golden age pop records into lyrical refractions for the modern era. With previous singles "Strange (But I Like It)," "The Songwriter," “One Woman,” “D.M.T” and “Far Away,” the energy of "That 70s show chic (LADYGUNN) and "Psychedelic pop with a modern twist (Wonderland Magazine) has been illuminated in full technicolour already and tmrw Magazine says, "If the goal was to enchant us all into anticipating the upcoming album, it has certainly worked.”

Of the album, STACEY says:

"A Saturn Return is when the planet Saturn returns to its original position from when you were born. Astrologically speaking, it is a rebirth in many ways, by way of rapid turmoil, a forceful learning of lessons to emerge as an elevated and truer version of yourself. This album was written and recorded during mine.

Every day, I wrap myself in 60s and 70s music, fashion, and design; I feel at home there, and made it my mission to reflect that in the music, but with 2021 mixes. Modern vintage. I tried to swirl colour, nostalgia, playfulness and raw emotion into a kaleidoscopic world, with both grandiose and intimate moments. I’ve never been more at the helm of my own work than with Saturn Return. It feels like a cosmic caterpillars-to-butterflies moment, both sonically and as a milestone.

My Taurus brought a few pretty things. She stayed the course. My Cancer cried at every turn and loved everyone along the way. Even when it got in the way. My Aquarius stayed true to herself even when the path was lonely. She demanded unique creation in the name of the greater good."
