Julia Stone previews first solo album in over eight years with new track "Fire In Me"

"Fire In Me" is Stone's second single of 2021, following January's Matt Berninger collaboration "We All Have".

Stone's new single was co-written with Dann Hume, and features a string section from album co-producer Thomas Bartlett.

"Fire In Me" is the fifth track to be shared from Sixty Summers, following "We All Have" and last year's "Dance", "Unreal" and "Break".

Sixty Summers will be Stone's first solo album in eight years, following 2012's By the Horns, and was recorded over the course of five years, beginning in 2015.

The singer/songwriter worked with Thomas Bartlett and St. Vincent on the album. Bartlett helped Stone write and record over 50 demos at his New York studio. She says, "Making this record with Thomas, I felt so free. I can hear it in the music. He brings a sense of confidence to recording sessions."

St. Vincent, aka Annie Clark, contributed vocals, guitars and production to Sixty Summers. Clark says of working with Stone, "Jules is the best. We were always fond of each other from afar, but after working on this, we became great friends. She's a brilliant girl - tenacious, perfectionistic, so smart. All fire."
