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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"1966, the solo album by Suzy Starlite\" href=\"https:\/\/vibes.starlite-campbell.com\/p\/suzy-starlite-new-solo-album-1966\"\u003eRead more in our journal, VIBES\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"preorder-1966-by-suzy-starlite-limited-edition-180g-vinyl-signed-high-quality-download","title":"Preorder '1966' by Suzy Starlite | Limited Edition 180g Vinyl (signed) + high quality download","description":"\u003ch5\u003eSUZY STARLITE - 1966 - DEBUT SOLO ALBUM - PREORDER LIMITED EDITION 180g VINYL\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the Year of the Fire Horse — bold, untameable, lit from within — \u003cem\u003e1966\u003c\/em\u003e is the debut solo album from Suzy Starlite: bassist, vocalist, visual artist and composer.
