Lauded by the media as “one of the brightest new things on the New Zealand music scene” (The Herald) and in the wake of his first single release, The Rising Tide of Conformity, Stevie Starr releases his debut album We Hope In All Things New.
Starr’s debut album “juxtaposes straight vocal guitar pop with
subversive lyrical themes. With moody electronic tinged compositions marinated
in a propensity for emotive classical style arrangements; his debut is an
enjoyable listening experience to say the least”.

Starr says the album ‘was inspired by being dissatisfied with the state of the music industry in this country and the way in which creative culture is dominated by financial values, rather than artistic values.’
