It has been seven years since her first acclaimed solo effort Modern Fables was released – an album that earned her a Taite Music Prize nomination and a Silver Scroll finalist spot for the single ‘A New Dialogue’, heralding her transition from iconic rock chick (as the front woman for Fur Patrol), to nuanced storytelling chanteuse. It has not been a quiet time between albums for Deans, who has immersed herself in various musical projects while slowly creating a new raft of songs.

Inspired by world events, friends, and family, 'We Light Fire' is an album that examines both what it means to be human, and our spectrum of strength and vulnerability.
