Today (6.30), DIAMOND-certified master of moody songcraft, Delacey, releases her sophomore album, ‘The Girl Has A Dream’ via Photo Finish Records. Available now here, the 14-track project serves as an unfiltered journey through the LA-bred pop maven’s thoughts, desires, dreams, and more with Delacey co-penning and co-producing every song along the way.
Escaping to a small cabin in middle-of-nowhere, upstate New York, Delacey hunkered down in the height of the pandemic with her best friend/producer Ido Zmishlany [Justin Bieber, The Kid LAROI, Camila Cabello], building the foundation for the project – a no-holds-barred collection of songs that quickly became the soundtrack to her escape from the craziness of the outside world.
Following in the footsteps of the GRAMMY-nominated songwriter’s debut album, ‘Black Coffee,’ which drew praise from Billboard, American Songwriter and more, ‘The Girl Has a Dream’ is packed with achingly thought-provoking tracks, with each song not only spotlighting Delacey’s raw and airy vocals, but also finding real-life inspiration – from bad therapy sessions to gut-wrenching heartbreaks, and even death.
As a whole, ‘The Girl Has a Dream’ is powerfully lush, unapologetic and as dark as it is beautiful. From her otherworldly ode to a broken relationship “Man on the Moon” and “Things I’d Save In a Fire,” which she began writing during an anxiety attack on a plane ride, to the cinematic look at her life to this point titled “Life is Fucking Beautiful” and “Dandelions,” the project’s perfect, poetic prologue, which features hundreds of Delacey’s vocals stacked atop one another – each song touches on the ongoing theme of pain, heartache and the process of overcoming.
West Coast fans looking to hear ‘The Girl Has a Dream’ live are in luck, as Delacey recently announced her forthcoming album release party, which is set to take place in Los Angeles at The Resident DTLA on July 18.
