I put this in the Other Music Styles 'cause this is pop/rock/country.
I kinda like it.


From escape-music.com:

Stefanie was born and raised in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, once home to some of the country’s largest steel manufacturing and the subject of Billy Joel’s 1982 hit “Allentown”. The towering Steel Stacks have become the backdrop for a flourishing music scene, the home of Musikfest, and the beginning of Stefanie’s songwriting journey.

Stefanie discovered her passion for music and songwriting at a young age. She got her start by singing her song ideas into her grandfather’s old cassette recorder. As she dove deeper into songwriting, she learned to play guitar which took her writing to the next level. She began to showcase her songs by taking the stage at Lehigh Valley’s Musikfest, as well as appearing on the tv music series “Steel Sessions”, and singing the National Anthem at Coca-Cola Stadium.

In 2011 Stefanie ventured to Nashville and performed at the legendary Bluebird Café and 12th & Porter. Two years later she traveled to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to further expand her life journey. These experiences have led to the collection of songs from her debut CD.

In 2015, Stefanie began recording her album with producer Brian J. Anthony who immediately embraced her vision. Brian helped create a sonic landscape by mixing bits of rock, pop and country while not losing the intensity of her voice or deep personal reflection in her lyrics. The result of these tracks gained the attention of some of the area’s best-known musicians who all jumped at the opportunity to be part of this release.

Stefanie continues to captivate fans of all ages with her love torn lyrics and catchy hooks. She is ready to take center stage as one of Pop/Rock’s best up and coming artist.

That's good. I almost didn't listen because you said "country" in your opening line. That song's not country. Is the rest of the album more country in style?

Been quietly enjoying this one. A few tracks I skip, but 'All I know,' 'Stranger,' 'Word man,' 'Hello love' and particularly, the excellent 'One life,' are all very enjoyable tracks.

    • I really do not see me getting anything more this year, so gonna go with my final top 10, after much moving about over the last few months. I have included EPs because they were just that good, but automatic exclusions are compilations and live albums. So as good as Crazy Lixx, Bon Jovi and Ghosts albums were (obviously not Jovi's studio album), they do not classify for the list. In order: 1.       Judas Priest - Invicible shield 2.       The Warning - Keep me fed 3.       April Art - Rodeo 4.       Nek! - Exclamation 5.       Rolling Quartz - Victory 6.       Band Maid - Epic narratives 7.       Sebastian Bach - Child within the man 8.       Lipz - Changing the melody 9.       Mick Mars - The other side of Mars 10.   Fans Of The Dark - Video Priest held the number one spot from the moment it released up til the end of the year. For a band I really do not listen to much, and only bought it because signed versions were cheap, I was totally blown away. So much so that it encouraged me to complete their back catalogue. The fact it really reminded me of Painkiller, which was always one of my fave Priest albums helped.   I thought The Warning would take #1 when it was announced, but as good as their album was, it did not do enough to overhaul JP, but it came close.   Rodeo came out of nowhere. I had never even heard of the band, got recommended the song Not Sorry on YouTube and then took a dive into their other videos, ending in preordering the album. That album was so fucking good that I bought their previous two releases (which were ok, but not as good). Any other year this could have been #1.   Nek! was another new band discovered due to a YouTube recommendation. Only an EP (and they have already released a new song since then) but it's great. As a fan of Band Maid and now Babymetal as well, it's nice to hear another all female Japanese band who does not copy either of those two.   Rolling Quartz were discovered the same way earlier this year, and picked up their previous EP. As soon as the new EP was announced I preordered. Only four tracks on this EP sadly, but all of them are great. Nice to find out that South Korea can do more than K Pop.   I never would have thought Band Maid would be this low, but that is purely down to two things. This not being their strongest output (it was great, but previous albums were better) and there being so much competition this year. But fuck me, the collab with The Warning was absolutely immense.   Sebs "comeback" album really was a statement I think. This was his way of saying "Fuck you Skid Row, I can still make better SR songs that you". While obviously not as strong as the first two Skids albums, this really does sit nicely alongside them. I didn't mind his other solo albums, but this is far and away the best solo album he has ever done. Just a shame he did not put an epic Seb style ballad on it.   Lipz almost failed to make the list, as I did not think it was a patch on their debut and lacked the hooks. Repeated listens and it dug its claws into my brain. Still prefer the debut as it really was tacky bubblegum glam, where as this sounds like a band wanting to be taken more seriously.   Mick Mars was one of if not my first 2024 release and I fucking loved it. The only reason it features so low is basically it didn't get as many spins after the first month or two.   Like Lipz, Video did not hook me at first. The problem was that as I had never heard of the band and the song Lets go rent a video absolutely blew me away, I was expecting a whole album of stuff like that. Like Lipz though, repeated spins had it go up in my estimation so much that it ended up knocking Durbin off the top 10.   As a side note, these are my top 10 songs of the year: 1.       Babymetal/Electric Callboy - Ratatata 2.      April Art - Not sorry 3.       Band Maid/The Warning - Show them 4.       Fans Of The Dark - Let’s go rent a video 5.       Judas Priest - Panic attack 6.       The Warning - Six feet deep 7.       Nek! - Reigen girl 8.       Rolling Quartz - Victory 9.       April Art - Head up high 10.   Band Maid - Protect you
    • Nice to see Priest up there, but surprised Dickinson is at #1. While I know tastes differ, but I was hoping for good things from Bruce's first solo output in a long time, and I felt it was kinda "meh". Not bad, just nothing on it that was playlist worthy.
    • Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla Judas Priest - Sad wings of destiny (JP collection minus the plethora or live and compilation albums, now complete)
    • Someone's trying to cause a flame war. Surprised* it's Darkstorm, he'd never resort to that**...   *not ** yes he would
    • Dude there's massive fanbases for short women who wash big dogs and people who scrunch pieces of paper while talking softly. The internet likes what the internet likes and you'll go crazy trying to work out why some make it big and others don't... 😜
