Stephen Sanchez has announced the expanded version of his acclaimed debut album, Angel Face, with Angel Face (Club Deluxe). This updated version is out on April 26 via Mercury Records/Republic Records.
Stephen is extending the LP with five brand new tracks, as well as the fan favorite duet version of his 3x-platinum smash “Until I Found You” [with Em Beihold]. On Club Deluxe, Stephen builds upon the story of Angel Face, showcasing the scope of his signature style and dipping into everything from cinematic balladry to boisterous rockabilly.
On the new music, Stephen shares, “Angel Face has been the best of myself, and I’m indescribably proud of it. I hope these songs and the memories you create with them will bring you continued happiness long after the curtains close.”
Beyond netting streams in the billions, Angel Face saw Sanchez garner widespread critical acclaim. NPR lauded Stephen’s ability to “take us on a ride in a time machine back to the 50s and 60s, when the sounds of Roy Orbison, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley reigned supreme, and he’s only 21 years old.”
V Magazine described the album as “a masterclass in a recipe for a successful first full-length project,” while FLOOD praised it for “[succeeding] both as a pulpy, blood-spattered narrative and as a deeply romantic record to spin with someone you may or may not be willing to take a bullet for.”
Meanwhile, American Songwriter remarked that “[his] retro-inspired musicality makes him one of the most unique acts of 2023 – not to mention one that is hard to forget.”
Shining as a phenomenon on the road too, Stephen sold out his North American tour last fall with two-night runs at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and more.
