Curb Records artist Stars Go Dim releases its fourth studio set, Roses, today (7/11) — listen HERE. Additionally, the official music video for self-penned track “Your Song” drops today, dedicated to the fans — watch HERE.
“I think so many times in life we feel like we’re living in a wasteland, and we’re missing the fact that we’re actually standing in forests of green, lush life,” offers Stars Go Dim frontman Chris Cleveland. “If we just slow down, if we just take a look around, if we just say, ‘God, how can I meet You here?’ we’d see that God is moving and working all the time. That’s what Roses is about.”
Stars Go Dim discovers faith in the crevices of daily life across its latest collection, years in the making. Co-producing for the first time, Cleveland embraces the genuine joy that comes from a slower pace and a different point of view on Roses. Exploring his dynamic range across the project’s 11 original selections, the top-shelf singer chases a retro sound marinated in the groove-heavy beats of the ’70s. From the jangly piano intro of lead single “Mama Don’t Lie (Alright)” to the nostalgic emotional pull of closing track “Good Days,” the fresh LPblossoms with the hope that God is always waiting to be found.
While Cleveland carefully handpicked a few seasoned lyricists to help him bring Roses to life, he also intentionally chose to collaborate with a large pool of relatively unknown songwriters for the majority of the project, giving many of the writers represented in the credits their first career cut.
To celebrate the eagerly anticipated premiere of Roses, Stars Go Dim will make its Grand Ole Opry debut this Sunday, July 13. When he steps into the coveted circle for the first time, Cleveland will join a star-studded lineup that’s scheduled to include Opry members Jamey Johnson and Bill Anderson, hitmaker Randy Houser and red-hot newcomers Megan Moroney and ERNEST, among others.
