Four years following her departure from Flyleaf, the vocalist and songwriter who delivered rock anthems like “Again,” All Around Me,” “I’m So Sick” and “Fully Alive” to the top of the retail and radio charts,Lacey Sturm, announces that her debut solo album, Life Screams, will release Feb. 12 on FOLLOWSPOT Records with The Fuel Music distribution.
Writing alone, as well as with husband/guitarist Josh Sturm, Skillet’s Korey Cooper and Grammy Award winning writer and producer David Hodges, Lacey created a record that is the sonic successor to Flyleaf’s celebrated self-titled debut (which spent a staggering 133 weeks onBillboard’s Top 200).
“In the beginning, Flyleaf really centered around my story and vision,” says the Platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated frontwoman of Flyleaf (through 2012). “This new project continues that narrative in a cohesive way.”
Lacey’s reason for getting back into music: “I was listening to the radio one day and I said to myself, ‘If I hear one more song telling people to kill themselves and go to hell, I’m going to have to put a record out!’ I just think it would be a good thing to have a voice in the mix of all the hopelessness that actually gives you a light at the end of the tunnel; a voice that’s still honest about the pain and struggle, but can also scream, ‘Hey, wake up and be alive because there’s hope!’”
The debut single from Life Screams, “Impossible,” already screamed to No. 2 on iTunes Rock Top Songs chart when it released, has received a Nikki “Sixx Picks” and is being featured on SiriusXM Radio Octane,HardDrive Radio and numerous stations across the country.
As her 2016 touring schedule begins to fill up, Lacey will be taking the new music from Life Screams and fan favorites from her Flyleaf repertoire to the “World’s Loudest Month,” hitting such major rock festivals asRock On The Range, Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion, Welcome To Rockville and Northern Invasion. She also performs at club dates, including a special album release show on Feb. 4 at West Hollywood’s famed Whisky A Go Go.
