Album Cover
#6. Lacey Sturm
Life Screams

Release Date: February 12, 2016
Lacey had good reasons for walking away from Flyleaf, but her former band has struggled in trying to find a new identity without her. It's nice to have Lacey back and making music again. Expect a deeply personal and moving album from her this time around. On top of that, we could be looking at the year's top rock album.
        - Michael Weaver

While Flyleaf's self-titled debut instantly put them on the map (man, even their "I'm So Sick" music video was IN the fourth Die Hard movie), Memento Mori is what made me a fan. And ever since Lacey left Flyleaf--taking their sound and the heart of the band with her--I've been itching to hear more from her.
        - John DiBiase

I simply loved the Flyleaf that was led by Lacey Sturm, so that alone makes me uber stoked to see what this solo release will be like.
        - Kevin Hoskins

The sheer possibilities of what Sturm's first solo album may hold overwhelm me. We obviously know what she is capable of as a rocker, and she's given hints of some quality contemporary the past few years. While Plumb and Rebecca St. James have set a high standard of versatile female artists in CCM in the past, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Sturm surpasses the achievements of both.
        - Mark Rice

I have been hoping for a solo record from Lacey since she began writing and playing new songs at various shows. When she finally announced Life Screams, I could not have had a bigger smile on my face. The first single, "Impossible," has only heightened my anticipation.
        - Lucas Munachen
