STARLITE CAMPBELL BAND
release new single
“GASLIGHT”
from upcoming Album
THE LANGUAGE OF CURIOSITY

Renowned for their unique sound, distinctive songwriting and beautifully produced recordings, European and British award nominees the Starlite Campbell Band release their exciting upbeat new single ‘Gaslight‘.
‘Gaslight‘ is the third single taken from their highly anticipated forthcoming album ‘The Language of Curiosity‘ released on the Supertone record label on Friday, November 5, 2021.
Written in response to fake news, gaslighting facts and the blurring of truth by people in power around the world, husband and wife duo Starlite and Campbell have created an upbeat rocking retort intended to vent the spleen, cleanse the soul and put a feel-good bounce back in your step by calling out the telling and selling of lies.
‘Gaslight‘ is straight-up early ’70s British rock ‘n’ Roll featuring a rich Motown-esque groove from Starlite on bass, good-time Wurlitzer electric piano from the Italian stallion Gabriele Del Vecchio and a foot-tapping four-on the floor groove from Steve Gibson on drums.
Many have been struck by Simon’s fabulous and unique slide guitar playing style. Known to play slide on his custom National ResoRocket Steel guitar as heard in the band’s debut album ‘Blueberry Pie‘, he opted for a much grittier tone for this song bringing into service the mighty vintage Gibson Flying V; his first-ever guitar given to him by his parents for his 18th birthday. Here Simon creates a series of cheeky melodic riffs with a solo that adds a sense of slightly drunken roots-punk to the overall feel of the song.
The music video was filmed on location in Portugal; conceived, directed and produced by videographer Amanda Naughton.
‘Gaslight‘ is available to buy, download and stream.

European and British award nominees the Starlite Campbell Band release their highly anticipated second album ‘The Language of Curiosity‘ on November 5th, 2021 on Supertone Records.
Renowned for their distinctive songwriting, unique sound with beautifully produced recordings, onstage chemistry and electrifying live shows, the Starlite Campbell Band are Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell who fell in love on stage and married following a whirlwind musical romance.
‘The Language of Curiosity‘ is a collection of stories about different facets of post-modern real-life experiences from gaslighting, working for the man, attitudes towards lust, passion and casual sex, space travel, social systems, the abuse of power and money, war and the global refugee crisis, gatekeepers in the music industry, people giving up and growing old before their time and feel good ’70s inspired British rock and British blues; it’s like looking at different sides of a Rubik’s cube.
From full-on rock ‘n’ roll tribal drums, thunderous bass, badass dirty guitar riffs, drunken echoes of slide and lap steel, melting melodies and vocal harmonies combined with old school valve guitar amps and analog tape machines, Starlite & Campbell have a very British sound!
The music has a vibe and feel reminiscent of the mid-’60s to early ’70s British rock & British blues; think Peter Green, Faces, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin but not like those really… more like Starlite-Campbell!

What the media are saying about
‘The Language of Curiosity’
“It’s an absolute belter!”
’”Think about your favourite albums and how they grew on you, grew WITH you over time. This is one of those albums!”
“An absolute joy and a genuine smile out loud album!”
“Oh My, Oh My! What a cracker this one is. I listened to the whole album at one go and I while I was listening I kept on being reminded of something—a sound, an ambience—that I could not quite identify. Then it hit me. This is what Cream sounded like before they became super-stars” – Ian K. McKenzie, Editor – BitS
