1966 | THE DEBUT SOLO ALBUM BY SUZY STARLITE

1966 is my first solo record — a deeply personal collection of original songs that I have written, performed and produced, playing bass, keyboards, acoustic guitar and singing lead vocals throughout. The album title reflects the year of my birth: I am a Fire Horse, a rare and high-energy sign in the Chinese zodiac, and the record draws on that spirit of transformation, defiance and creative freedom.

“Art-pop rooted in 80s new wave and synth-pop — melodic, bass-driven and emotionally direct, with a dark undertow, performed by a visual artist in dramatic spaces.”

The songs were born from a period of intense personal reflection, written through the night by candlelight with an acoustic guitar. Rooted in the 80s new wave tradition — with echoes of Siouxsie Sioux, Blondie, Alison Moyet and the Pretenders — the music combines emotional directness with melodic strength. The album will be released in February 2027 on Supertone Records.
