STACEY is self-aware of her sound. In a poem, the Toronto-based singer-songwriter describes her sultry song “Trouble Is” as “a modern ode to a drama-infused Gatsby soirée…à la 50 Shades of Grey.” As piano and strings swell, STACEY’s vocals rise to meet them:
to whom it may concern,
Trouble Is…
the darkest side of my upcoming EP
a modern ode to a drama-infused Gatsby soirée
cavalier acknowledgement of personal patterns
elusive flirtation & romantic exhaustion
à la 50 Shades of Grey
lyrics that tumble out in a masochistic confessional
perpetual
cinematic with ominous choral synths
cascading above the marching procession
one vocal take
an anthem for a slow motion Bond woman
if she ever sang
whispers in your ear
of suspenseful observation
penned by STACEY
produced by Derek Hoffman & Alan Day
mixed by Juno-winner Jason Dufour
