about

Tassone introduces a captivating 6-track LP in collaboration with the esteemed US label Fantastic Voyage, ‘Stepping Stones’. The EP blends elements of melodic jungle and footwork.

The EP kicks off with WHAT-EV-ER, an energetic footwork anthem which is dedicated to those who command attention and possess an ability to see through pretenses. Tassone cites this as her ultimate victory dance song & has been getting awesome crowd reactions all year with this track.
Next up is the dynamic and glitched-out track titled 'Glory.' This piece, characterized by its choppy nature and a pulsating bass line, serves as an ode to embracing the beauty of the creative process and the bigger picture.

The third offering, 'IFEE,' takes a jazzy approach to footwork, symbolizing the emotional restraint musicians often portray to deliver an impeccable performance on stage. It playfully explores the paradox of being a musician, occasionally feeling like a robotic entity detached from personal emotions when live. 'IFEE' is an ironic take on this experience in meaning and in sound, the balance between flow state and electrical function.
Moving forward, the LP delves into a boppy and invigorating jungle track that exudes confidence, with ‘Come Down’. Tassone describes this particular song as one she would play before stepping into the ring with an opponent, a tune that fuels her determination in the face of adversity, a girl boss moment.
Next up is Edward White’s take on ‘Come Down’, which is refreshingly calm and reflective in comparison to the original. Whilst respecting structure and melodies from the original track, Edward has created a softened and more tranquil garage rendition.

Fantastic Voyage have opted to remaster and re-release Tassone’s first ever released track ‘Love or Dreaming’ (Out on FV’s 5 Year Anniversary release) with this LP. ‘Love or Dreaming’ was written out of excitement - the track reflects on her progress and small wins as a musician earlier on in her career. It fits perfectly conceptually as an addition to this release.
This LP stands out as a collection of themes rarely explored by musicians in this manner. It is a raw and sincere representation of Tassone's artistic and societal experience in her local environment as a musician over the last few years. It caters to those hard workers who have felt like underdogs, the misfits, and those who are assertive or distinct, often facing criticism and opposition.
