Are you going to the Deep End? Watch the latest from Stacey Ryan
“Deep End’ is one of my most fun and dance-ey songs and I’m so excited for it to be out with a little bit of summer left! I wrote it about telling someone to go live life a little before jumping into the figurative deep end with me. And it has the best pool party music video to accompany it! Can’t wait for you guys to listen.”
Stacey Ryan, the 22-year-old Montreal singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who created a worldwide sensation this year with "Don't Text Me When You're Drunk," offers up sage midsummer daydream advice to a sun-drenched pool of suitors who are about to get in the water over their heads, in her brand new "Deep End" single and video available today via Island Records. “If you wanna be with me,” warns Stacey in the summery uptempo song, “Better stop to think/ Tread carefully/ Before you jump into the deep end/ Deep end.”
Stacey arrived in NYC this week to kick off her first-ever headlining tour of North America, with stops in the Big Apple (Mercury Lounge on August 18th – SOLD OUT); then her hometown of Montreal (Le Ritz, Aug. 20th); and wrapping up in LA (Moroccan Lounge, Aug. 25th). Thundermans star Kira Kosarin will be Stacey’s special guest opener.
On July 10th, Stacey was one of eight acts personally chosen by Duran Duran to open their BST Hyde Park festival show in London. (These are Stacey’s first dates since the spring when she was the support act on tour with New York City band Lawrence; followed by a hometown performance on the Main Stage of the Montreal Jazz Fest.)
“Deep End” follows up Stacey’s “Fall In Love Alone,” first released in May, a look at potentially unrequited love, knowing the other person has a hard time committing and hoping they don’t fall in love…alone. Her ever-evolving body of work continues to show the full extent of her songwriting powers and one-of-a-kind musical imagination. A classically trained jazz pianist who also plays guitar, bass, ukulele, and trumpet, she possesses an undeniable knack for lyrical storytelling, melodies that endlessly wander into unexpected places, and a singular sense of rhythm and song structure that wholly reflects her jazz background.
