With strong and diverse instrumentals, the red-haired songstress, Lacy James, has returned to the music scene with the upcoming release of her new album, Circle of Swallows. Since her celebrated last album Lovefeast, released in 1992, Lacy has had much time to reflect and pursue her other great passion: dance.

On the first single off of the album, “Osmosis Song” James’ voice floats ambiently along with serene drumbeats and dreamy, ringing guitar licks. On the song “Icarus” Lacey demonstrates her prowress for vivid imagery and spiritual connections with lyrics like, “I remember the wax and feathers/melting slowly one by one/shining bright as they were floating/into the sun.”
