Multi-platinum emerging artist Stephen Sanchez has released his debut album, Angel Face, out now via Mercury Records/Republic Records. The 13-track album is filled to the brim with 50s and 60s-inspired love songs, including RIAA 3x Platinum Certified hit, “Until I Found You.” Along with the album, Stephen has released cinematic music videos for “Death Of The Troubadour” and “High,” directed by Charlie Rees – watch “Death Of The Troubadour”
“Angel Face” recounts the life of a character named Stephen Sanchez, also known as “The Troubadour Sanchez.” The album captures the fictional artist’s rise to fame with the hit “Until I Found You,” followed by a tumultuous romance with Evangeline, culminating in his untimely murder in 1964. Now, almost 60 years later, the unreleased debut album “Angel Face” has been discovered and is being released posthumously.
The album, despite its vintage origins, benefits from top-tier production by Ian Fitchuk and Konrad Snyder. Additionally, one of the tracks, “No One Knows,” was produced by Ben Schneider of Lord Huron and features singer-songwriter Laufey.
On his inspiration for Angel Face, Stephen explains, “This record, for me, is the antithesis of love’s entire humanity. It is here to empower those drawn to the cosmic signs that put two souls in the same place at the right moment. The hope is to evoke memories and be a soundtrack for new ones, that these songs might allow strangers to be caught in a feeling long enough for love to grow.”
Beginning next month, Stephen is hitting the road to bring the world of Angel Face to fans across the country. Stephen will be playing Terminal 5 in New York, two nights at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, and two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, among others – see the full list of dates below. This will be Stephen’s first time back on the road since his completely sold out headlining tour earlier this year
