There is a striking intensity in the singing voice of Lacey Sturm that is both captivating and instantly memorable. And for a while there it was sadly absent.
But no more.
Sturm, formerly Lacey Mosley, first captured our attention a decade ago in Flyleaf–the platinum selling, Texas hard rock band that connected commercially with their self-titled debut LP. When the singer departed in 2012 and had two children while Flyleaf carried on with a new vocalist, it seemed a possibility we’d not hear from her again.
But that’s not the case at all, as her new solo album Life Screams amply illustrates.

A superb set that sonically carries on from her work with Flyleaf, Sturm’s new album offers up a compelling array of emotional, hard-rocking tracks with just the right amount of edge—the lyrics, the vocals, the unique, tactical screaming bursts—that truly is a whole new thing, but familiar enough to please even the most ardent Flyleaf loyalists. Significantly, that husband/guitarist Josh Sturm is an integral part of the mix now makes Life Screams very much a family affair. To its benefit.
