INTERVIEW: LACEY STURM - RockRevolt Mag

Lacey has earned legions of fans worldwide, not only through her astoundingly emotive voice and chart-topping songwriting, but also for the sheer sincerity of the uplifting messages pervading her work. Whether fronting multi-million-selling hard rockers, Flyleaf, or now as a solo artist (not to mention as an author and speaker), she remains uncommonly true to herself while inspiring others to strive for better ways to live and love.

Four years after amicably parting ways with the Platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated Flyleaf, Lacey released her stunning solo debut, Life Screams, in early 2016. This self-produced collection of urgent, anthemic, and lyrically-timely rock was preceded by the irresistibly optimistic single “Impossible,” which debuted exclusively on SiriusXM’s Octane and helped launch the album to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart, marking the first time a solo woman topped the illusive chart.

Lacey’s live band — featuring her husband on lead guitar — has already performed for crowds in the tens of thousands at 2016 events like Rock On The Range, Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion, Welcome To Rockville, Northern Invasion, and more, as well as at her own headlining club tour. Lacey and band also performed live on Yahoo! Music her newest single from Life Screams, “Rot,” a track that intensely defends freedom from shallow, ‘beautiful’ lies told in destructive relationships.

Listen in as RockRevolt Magazine’s Ace Sims talks with Lacey about her writing as well as her new album.
