I offer a service kind of like Blaze… but way hella better. The cost is similar, but I will work with you. If you have coin struggle… you can pay in many other ways. It’s not about money… never was… never will be…
Before Lacey Sturm ever stepped on stage with Flyleaf, she had already lived through the kind of darkness most people only write about. As a teenager she battled deep depression and survived a suicide attempt… and what came after reshaped everything. Her faith didn’t become an image or a lane — it became the core of who she was. That’s why her voice hits different. It’s not just tone or technique… it’s survival, it’s prayer, it’s something real breaking through. A lot of those Flyleaf songs weren’t crafted for radio… they came straight from her journals, her struggles, her conversations with God. That’s why you feel them more than you just hear them.
What makes her story even more wild… she walked away from it all in 2012, right when things were peaking after New Horizons. No drama… no crash… just a decision to step back for her family and her calling. Most artists hold on tighter at that point — she let go. And when she came back, it wasn’t to pick up where she left off… it was to start fresh with her own solo career. Same intensity, same raw honesty… just even more personal and stripped down. That contrast you hear in her — the softness and the scream, the broken and the bold — that’s not a style she learned… that’s a life she lived.

..For this week’s Hidden Gems from the B-Side, I’m digging into the catalog of Flyleaf — a Christian rock band that brought raw emotion.. powerful spiritual themes into the rock world in the mid-2000s. Led by the incredible voice of Lacey Sturm, one of my favorite singers, their music never shied away from pain, redemption, and the search for truth.
The band came out of Texas — the same region that gave us rock legends like Pantera and ZZ Top — proving that powerful music can rise from the same soil in very different ways.
🎶 Circle Album: Memento Mori Year: 2009
🎶 Again Album: Memento Mori Year: 2009
Both songs come from their 2nd studio album…
As a bonus, I’m also adding a video of Lacey’s testimony, where she shares the powerful story of how Christ transformed her life.
Hope y’all enjoy… 🎸
