New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Stacey Jackson plans to take over the airwaves just in time for the party season. With her new single, FLIPSIDE, Stacey plays into the 80s nostalgia whilst making it her own, with empowering lyrics about taking risks and being true to yourself.
Recorded in London, Stacey Jackson worked with longtime collaborator and co-writer Ramzi Sleiman, who has worked with the likes of The Overtones, LuLu, Westlife, Taio Cruz, T2 and Mis-teeq. FLIPSIDE has a deliberate 1980s pop feel, and was therefore the perfect track to use as an introduction to Stacey's 80s nostalgia pop TV Show, Stacey Jackson in the 80s (Spotlight TV, Sky Channel 365 and Freest 500).
FLIPSIDE is an anthem of empowerment, but it's also so much more than that. Stacey Jackson has been up against her fair share of obstacles; as an older woman in the public eye, certain parts of her career have been an uphill struggle. On FLIPSIDE, she pours her self assertion and determination into every syllable, convincing us and, in the process, herself, that she's got staying power.
"I had literally finished writing the song right before I even landed the TV series! So when the producer of the show asked me if I could suggest a pop track we could use for the theme song - it was almost spiritual! Such a crazy coincidence!" says Stacey. "The lyrics came to me quite quickly because it's all about taking risks to become a better 'you', even when you have so many commitments in life and are being pulled in so many different directions." Current pop icons like
Dua Lipa and The
Weeknd are all referencing 80 pop, and so Stacey felt she could contribute to the trend - from the perspective of someone who was there first time around!
