Stacey Jackson is not your average pop star. Launching her music career at 40, she’s defied the odds and inspired countless women around the world. This July 19th, she releases her latest single, “SUPER WOMAN,” a pop/dance anthem that serves as the title track of her upcoming album set for release later this summer. This single is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a powerful mantra for women striving to live their best lives and pursue their dreams.
Stacey shares the inspiration behind “SUPER WOMAN,” expressing, “I have been very lucky through the years, having surrounded myself with a community of driven, strong-minded, brilliant empowering women all my life. Having such amazing positivity and inspiration around fuels me. In fact, we cheer for each other.”
Balancing her roles as a mother, entrepreneur, and musician, Stacey emphasizes the importance of community and self-care. “I am a strong believer in looking after yourself and continuing to do as much as possible for yourself because if you are not a happy ‘You,’ I think you will not be able to be a happy mom, partner, friend, co-worker etc… All of my positive relationships throughout the years have been integral to my journey and that’s what inspires my songs.”
Her collaboration with Snoop Dogg on “Live It Up” was a significant milestone in her career. Stacey reflects, “Having that experience, I suppose, gave my artistry a notch of validation in a really tough, ageist industry, but perhaps even gave me more confidence to propel forward and take more chances. And when growth and opportunities came and a door opened, I never hesitated to go in and see what was there. My journey led me to creating more songs, hosting 3 seasons of a TV show, and writing a book. Creating is what I love to do and I’m in my happy place so I write songs about feeling happy and being positive and never giving up on yourself or on your passions.”
The album features a mix of 80s-inspired pop and modern dance tracks, reflecting Stacey’s deep connection to the music of her youth, creating something that is both nostalgic and fresh. These tracks often carry messages of self-belief and empowerment. “I hope that by hearing inspiring and positive messages like, ‘you’ve GOT this, girl!’ type of music that makes women feel that they can do anything they put their minds to. I hope I can continue to inspire other women out there to know that life isn’t just one path. There’s going to be loads of roads you will take to get wherever you are going. But I encourage people not to be scared of the journey because what we pick up along the way is invaluable.”
Stacey is currently promoting “SUPER WOMAN” on tour around the UK, performing at festivals, clubs, and prides around the country. Stacey is also simultaneously plugging her recently released novel, “How A Gangsta Rapper Made Me a Better Mom.” The audio version of the book with an entire soundtrack that she wrote and incorporated into the story will be released at the end of the year.
Stacey is the pinnacle of perseverance, with the unwavering belief that it’s never too late to chase your dreams. For those who may feel it’s too late, Stacey has a message: “The number of years of age is not just the number depicting how old you are, it’s the number of years you’ve been loved, you have loved, you’ve learned, you’ve created, you’ve thought and you’ve experienced. That in itself is confidence.” Listen to her empowering new single, “SUPER WOMAN,” releasing July 19th.
