Julia Stone reveals today that her hugely anticipated third solo album Sixty Summers will be released on February 19 via BMG. Eight years after Stone’s last solo record, Sixty Summers arrives as a powerful rebirth for one of Australia’s most prolific artists. Emerging from the wildernesses of folk and indie-rock, with Sixty Summers Stone dives headfirst into the cosmopolitan, hedonistic world of late-night, moonlit pop. The stunning album brings us the grit and glitter of the city, with all its attendant joys, dangers, romances and risks. It is Stone at her truest, brightest self, a revered icon finally sharing her long, secret love affair with this vibrant and complex genre.
In tandem with the news of the album’s release, Stone unveils third single ‘Dance’ with video directed by Jessie Hill and featuring extraordinary performances from multi award-winning actors Susan Sarandon and Danny Glover. Hill, Stone’s long-time visual storytelling collaborator, who also directed the striking visual for first single ‘Break’, has truly raised and cleared the bar for creative direction with the ‘Dance’ visual. Together with Sarandon and Glover, Hill has created a sensual, playful and almost mystical narrative - a fairy-tale moment in time. The actors portray a love, young in its lifetime. They prepare for their first date with giddy excitement, sashaying around their respective homes, dizzy at the prospect of what’s to come. Later, the pair dance and sway together through the streets of New York, lost in each other's arms and presence.
