gaslight | 2026

Stephanie Schneiderman’s new release, Gaslight, seamlessly combines her past sonic explorations – folk, Americana, chamber pop, and soul – into a beautifully dark and deeply introspective sound that is as lush as it is intimate. Recorded and co-produced with John Askew, the song speaks to her personal experience of navigating a male dominated industry, as well as the unnerving political backdrop of our times. Written on piano, the track centers around Stephanie’s voice – bright, fluid, emotional and raw with soulful backing vocals from Tarshene Watkins and Jeannie Wiggins, her bandmates from Motown funk supergroup Body and Soul. Adding melodic indie-rock prowess is her acoustic quartet featuring Jenny Conlee (Decemberists) on accordion, Keith Brush on upright bass and Ji Tanzer (Blue Cranes) on drums and percussion plus a stunning woodwind and horn arrangement by world renowned composer Kelly Pratt (Arcade Fire, Coldplay).
