The Fey release their debut album Palm Tree Shade

“I despise the ‘safe-zone’ boundaries people put around genres,” Watkins explained. “And because I’m an artist with a very eclectic taste in music, I unconsciously tend to stir-in multiple styles and sounds to this thing we call ‘Alternative R&B.’ I love the swaggering vibes of a dope hip-hop beat, get chills every time I hear a thick, bluesy guitar line and have a crazy weakness for vintage synthesizers. And vocally, I got to give credit to my gospel upbringing and its purpose of making listeners free themselves within a melody.” - American Songwriter

"This is modern music with a retro vibe that will take you places that other musicians wouldn’t dare travel. Fortunately for you, you’re invited to join in on this unpredictable ride." - V13

We are excited to release the long awaited debut record from The Fey! What began as a simple networking retreat to Los Angeles inspired The Fey’s debut album, “Palm Tree Shade”. Palm Tree Shade takes a modern-day 80’s expedition through The City of Angles, allowing digital synthesizers and drum machines to lead the way. A notable contrast from the 70’s vibes of their 2018 Strawberry Lemonade EP, the band’s debut full length album pays homage to the kings of pop music with tasteful innuendos of Prince, Michael Jackson, and Phill Collins. Singer, songwriter, and front man Zach Watkins reveals his emblematic battle between man and wolf, stemming from his infatuation with big city fast life, and driving him into the acceptance of maturity and wisdom.
