Kacey Fifield, an acclaimed singer/songwriter hailing from Los Angeles and currently residing in New York, has garnered recognition for her exceptional talent, particularly showcased in her self-penned debut album, “Between the Lines,” released in 2022. With an impressive track record, Kacey has amassed over 6.25 million streams for her original songs, surpassing 4.5 million on Spotify for the album alone, and has captivated a diverse audience of 1.8 million unique listeners. Among the standout tracks on “Between the Lines” are three electronic pop singles, including the vibrant “Toxic” (collaboration with Indian producer Nippandab), the uplifting anthem “Like Us” (featuring Albanian producer Marin Hoxha); and the ethereal “Palms” (created in collaboration with South Korean producer Little Rain), providing listeners with an immersive and dreamy escape.
Kacey’s latest EP release “Nostalgia Haunts Me” serves as something in between a diary entry and a goodbye letter to her high school experience and all the bittersweet memories that came with it. “On this album, I really confront this feeling of being stuck in the past. I use a unique blend of haunting melodies, danceable production, and vulnerable lyrics to progress from the sarcastic and somewhat oxymoronic ‘Never Reply,’ a song in which I claim to no longer care about someone while making it painfully obvious that I care way more than I should, to the raw and emotional ‘Numb Pill,’ a track in which I finally accept my emotional self, admitting that I’d rather feel heartbreak than feel nothing at all,” says Kacey. Her new single “Dream Girl” has just been released.
Currently based in New York City as she attends Columbia University, Kacey has proven that her songwriting prowess and powerful live performances transcend genres. Kacey simply cannot – and will not – be put into one box. Last year, Kacey delivered unforgettable performances in both Los Angeles and New York City, commanding venues like The Whisky A Go Go, The Mint, and Heaven Can Wait. She most recently graced the stage of the famed Troubadour in West Hollywood.
Kacey actively engages in philanthropic endeavors, consistently lending her support to meaningful causes. She enthusiastically joined the Students of the Year fundraising campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, aiming to contribute to the search for a cure for cancer. Additionally, she has collaborated with Farm Sanctuary and the New Roots Institute, championing sustainability and compassion in the food system. “For at least the next four years, I plan to be in New York City, getting my education while also working on my music career,” says Kacey. “I’d love to find more co-writers and producers to work with. But mostly, I just want to keep making music that listeners find relatable, inspirational, and cathartic. I love making music that helps people feel big emotions.”
Following the success of her EP “Nostalgia Haunts Me,” which has amassed over 700k streams, Kacey continues to enchant with her unique blend of infectious pop melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. “Dream Girl” tells the candid story of the obsessive lengths we go to fit the narrow mold of an idealized “dream girl.” The track masterfully juxtaposes an upbeat, catchy melody with gritty, distorted synth and guitar lines, creating a compelling soundscape that mirrors the tension between societal beauty standards and the real consequences of trying to conform to them. With production by Sam Beresford and contributions from Michael Kamerman, the song also features heavily stacked vocals and a unique talking segment over the chorus that adds to its depth and intrigue.
Key highlights of “Dream Girl” include instrumentation that features synth with a VHS effect and delay, synth bass, heavily distorted and filtered guitar, and richly layered vocals. The song is produced by Sam Beresford, and written by Kacey Fifield, Samuel Beresford, and Michael Kamerman. Fans can catch Kacey live at The Mint LA on August 14th.
Press highlights for Kacey’s work are glowing. “Words can’t express how hard we’ve fallen in love with American singer-songwriter Kacey Fifield,” says Alfitude. EARMILK praises her versatile soundscapes and compelling lyrical explorations, establishing her as a powerhouse pop talent. Unclear Magazine notes that Kacey is carving out a signature space for herself within the pop music world. Kacey’s last project, “Nostalgia Haunts Me,” was a poignant exploration of the transition from teenage years to adulthood, earning widespread acclaim and nearly five million streams on Spotify. Now based in New York City while attending Columbia University, Kacey continues to balance her academic pursuits with her burgeoning music career, delivering powerful live performances across the country.
