With Stacey Dineen's distinctive vocal style, 'Ghost of You' is unmistakably the sound of a powerful new artist.
Irish newcomer has unveiled her debut release in the form of beautiful single 'Ghost of You'.
Her soaring vocals on the break-up track completely envelope the listener in her all-too-relatable tale of love and loss. The lyrics speak to the feeling of lingering on to the last fragments of a relationship, and the sincerity of her words cut through on a deeply personal level. Dineen's warm, distinctive tones are delivered over anthemic choruses and sleek production. The result is an undeniably infectious pop gem.
Stacey originally rose to prominence as a plus size model and body positivity advocate, making frequent television appearances. Shying away from the label of influencer-turned-singer, however, she has always aspired to be a musician first and foremost.
Stacey is inspired by artists such as Mimi Webb and Adele, who use authenticity to connect with their audiences. That sense of honesty and relatability is crucial for Stacey in her own brand of songwriting.
‘Ghost of You’ is a striking effort; a raw, upbeat track with a powerful delivery. Stacey's voice stops the listener dead in their tracks, drenched in power and sincerity

Dineen writes all her songs in her bedroom and records in locations across Ireland, London and Los Angeles. Her poise of the girl next door is accompanied with the stellar vocals. Based on this debut release, her potential feels limitless. ‘Ghost of You’ marks the rising artist's first stamp on the Irish music scene.
“I could say I hate having my heart broken but without the heartbreak I wouldn't have the music,” Stacey says.
