Tiffany Stringer – The Lone Starlet
Rising pop sensation Tiffany Stringer has raised the curtain on her hugely anticipated new EP, The Lone Starlet, arriving Friday, May 8 via Atlantic Records.
The Lone Starlet begins a stunning new creative chapter for Tiffany Stringer. Recorded at North Hollywood’s iconic Valentine Recording Studios, the Texas-born star leaned on a lifelong passion for classic Hollywood cinema, underscoring the project’s visual aesthetic as much as the music itself. Taking inspiration from such timeless film classics as High Noon and Singin’ In The Rain, new songs like “Supernova” channel Lone Star grit and Hollywood glamour in equal measure, all tied together by a captivating concept and big-screen emotions.
“The Lone Starlet traces the journey of a Hollywood starlet,” Tiffany Stringer says. “She’s from Texas, but she’s come to L.A. All of these new things are happening to her. It shows a different side of me.
The Lone Starlet era began earlier this year with Stringer’s label debut single, “Bullet.” The infectious breakup anthem is paired with an evocative official music video – written by Tiffany herself and directed by Logan Rice (Jessie Murph, MARINA)
“In the narrative, ‘Bullet’ is the name of the western the EP’s protagonist stars in,” she goes on. “In a dream, I was talking to my ex-boyfriend, and he said he was getting married. I woke up the next morning, checked Instagram, and saw he had actually gotten married! I was going through all of these mixed feelings, and I told my friends. One of them said, ‘You dodged a bullet, girl’. I took all of the heavy emotion and alchemized it into a song.”
The Lone Starlet also includes the recently debuted single “Damn Good Actress”. Produced by Jack Riley (Cameron Whitcomb, Jenna Raine) and Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, Halsey, Del Water Gap).
“Damn Good Actress” opens in cinematic fashion with an intro befitting of a Golden Age Hollywood screen queen. “This is when The Lone Starlet shows up to the premiere of her film,” says Tiffany. “During a big moment like this, you might act like, ‘I don’t give a fuck’. Behind closed doors, you might actually be having a moment of real sadness. We all have different faces we put on for people, and it can be disorienting. I tried to show the truth.”
Then, there’s “Supernova.” A palm-muted riff brushes up against her vocals, and she whispers, “I think I’m in love and it scares me.” Her dynamic range uplifts an effervescent and ethereal hook off the ground. “It’s about falling in love, coming home to my boyfriend, and caring for him and the others in my life,” she notes. “On stage, I get to be larger-than-life. When I come home and take my makeup off, I’m a little more of just Tiffany.”
In the end, Tiffany gives big emotions the big-screen treatment they deserve.
“I hope The Lone Starlet can represent something different for everyone,” she leaves off. “I learned how to give myself grace. And so I hope that when my fans listen to my music, they can give themselves grace, they can see themselves in what I write.”
Stringer will celebrate the world premiere of The Lone Starlet with a series of very special fan event screenings and performances in cinemas across America, set for Los Angeles’s Los Feliz 3 Theatre (April 30), Dallas’s Angelika Film Center & Café (May 3), and New York City’s historic Angelika Film Center & Café (May 7).
