Press Release

With an astounding 60 million career streams and 6 million “Likes” on TikTok, the wait is over for new music from Stephen Stanley. His debut album, titled “Divided Frame Of Mind” (Capitol CMG), is out, offering 14 songs full of raw honesty and purpose, all entwined with his unique yet distinctive sound.

Stanley also dropped a new live video for "Holding Me Up" that premiered Thursday night.

Bringing the topic of mental awareness to the forefront of his songs, this songwriter and musician most of all chooses to confront life's darkness by shining a light on it. As Stanley explains, "Sometimes you have to go to that dark place to find the light." 

Stanley wrote and produced “Divided Frame Of Mind” with Tedd T (Mutemath, for KING & COUNTRY). Others involved in the album were Mutemath's Darren King offering a drum solo on "Taking It Back"; and Riley Clemmons, who joined Stanley on "Note To Self," which already boasts 7 million streams since its release. Award-winning producer and songwriter Tommee Profitt was also part, teaming up on "I'll Carry You"; while the June release of "Whatever It Takes" went viral on TikTok, quickly claiming 1.1 million views and more than 2,000 new pre-adds of the album via Apple Music.

Stanley has been releasing songs with Capitol CMG since 2020. He announced the album's release in the spring with early singles "The Edge," which went to alternative radio, and “Rest In The Father," which has 5 million in global streams. The latter is Stanley's highest-performing song to date, with 75-plus station adds and playing to an audience of more than 3 million, propelling it to No. 14 on the Christian Airplay chart. "Rest In The Father" follows his debut single, "No Hopeless Soul," which hit top 20 and was heard on 55-plus stations.
