Album Notes & Community Reviews

Riding the crest of the British new wave explosion, 'Stateless' introduces Lovich's highly theatrical, squeaking vocal style over bouncy, eccentric pop arrangements. The major hit single "Lucky Number" positioned her as one of the most distinctive and visually striking figures on the celebrated Stiff Records roster.
