Sexy and remarkably bold, Jae Stephens is a Bratz doll come to life. Playing with color, cunt, and volume, the Pasadena native exemplifies the pleasure in being fully embodied. Following a decade worth of success as a songwriter, she’s now in her popstar era, with her debut album Audacity set to establish her place among a new generation of female artists who decenter men and prioritize self-exploration. Slated for release September 25th, it’s a sonic whirlwind.
