Alaina Staceyโs new single โThink Of Youโ has the haunting beauty of an unreleased Kacey Musgraves song. Itโs one of the many gems on the Nashville artistโs new EP Dusk, which completes the trilogy begun with her Dawn and Day EPs, all released in the past three years.
โI wrote โThink Of Youโ after a particularly difficult breakup, when every Nashville staple and local corner seemed to wear his face,โ says Stacey. โWe had a funny, ongoing argument about who was better, Tom Waits or Bob Dylan. I argued for Waits, my ex for Dylan. Even now, I canโt hear a Dylan song without thinking of him.โ
Stylistically, the new EP covers much more ground than Americana. Stacey collaborates with Modest Mouse producer Brian Deck on the solemn-yet-edgy โRevolveโ. And the chorus of โLate Night Liesโ has the melodic brilliance of a Burt Bacharach ballad.
Not since Vivaldiโs โThe Four Seasonsโ has there been a complementary collection quite as ambitious as Dusk/Dawn/Day โ so letโs hope Stacey completes the project with an EP called Night.
Listen to โThink Of Youโ below, and find the new EP Dusk on the streaming services.
