Becca Stevens gets funky on 'WONDERBLOOM' (stream "Good Stuff")

Becca Stevens has been busy as both a member of David Crosby’s Lighthouse band and a solo artist, and she’s now set to release a new solo EP, WONDERBLOOM, on November 15 via GroundUP Music with a full-length album of the same name set to follow on March 20, 2020. The album features contributions from her Lighthouse bandmates (Michael League, Michelle Willis, and Croz himself), plus Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong, longtime collaborator Jacob Collier, harpist Laura Perrudin, and about 40 other musicians.

Though she made WONDERBLOOM with some of her usual collaborators, the music is much different this time around. Your first taste is “Good Stuff,” which sounds straight out of the post-disco ’80s pop era. It was co-written with former Kneebody member Kaveh Rastegar (who’s worked with Bruno Mars, Beck, De La Soul, and tons of others) and Becca says, “It’s a song about things I’ve gone through in my career, and the struggles that so many women face in this industry.” Listen and watch the lyric video below.

Becca is also touring Europe this fall, and playing Winter Jazzfest in NYC in January. After that, she has spring 2020 tours for Europe and the US TBA. All currently announced dates are listed below.
