Flipside by Stacey Jackson has been reimagined into a breathtaking acoustic version. With empowering lyrics about taking risks and being true to yourself, the 80s nostalgia-hit single is given new meaning.
Recorded in London, Stacey Jackson worked with long-time collaborator and co-writer Ramzi Sleiman, who has worked with the likes of The Overtones, LuLu, Westlife, Taio Cruz, T2 and Mis-teeq.
The acoustic version of Flipside, in comparison to the original, dazzles fans in an entirely new way. Flipside is transformed into a completely different song when accompanied by sombre piano, cello, and backing vocals.
The acoustic version of the song was released on April 29th. As the original Flipside was deliberately 1980s pop, it was chosen as a perfect introduction to Stacey Jackson in the 80s, her 1980s nostalgia pop TV show (Spotlight TV, Sky Channel 365 and Freesat 500). Global Digital Radio Pop has now ranked Flipside as the No.1 song!
“Flipside” is a song about empowerment and so much more than that. In her career as an older woman in the public eye, Stacey Jackson has faced her share of challenges. Compared to its original acoustic version, the acoustic version shows more melancholic energy.

With every syllable, she asserts herself and believes in herself, proving to us that she’s a true fighter. This new acoustic version pairs with a thrilling live music video. In contrast with the neon lights, the dark and smoky feel of the room represents the acoustic version’s mood, representing the neoclassical feel of the original.

“I had literally finished writing the song right before I even landed the TV series! So, when the producer of the show asked me if I could suggest a pop track we could use for the theme song – it was almost spiritual! Such a crazy coincidence!”

“The lyrics came to me quite quickly because it’s all about taking risks to become a better ‘you’, even when you have so many commitments in life and are being pulled in so many different directions. Stripping it back felt so right and just adds even more clarity to the lyrics which I think resonate with so many people.”
