RIDING THE RELENTLESS CURRENT, LAVENDINE DIVES FEARLESSLY INTO THEIR ALBUM, DEEP BLUE
Produced by Mark Needham, the Album Rises on Waves of Faith and Fortitude
With harmonies as fluid as the ocean they sing about, sister duo Lavendine, Jacy and Jana Ayers, return with Deep Blue, a record that finds beauty in surrender and strength in vulnerability. Produced by the legendary Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac, Imagine Dragons), the album is a cinematic, faith-infused exploration of resilience, healing, and divine trust.
From the first notes of “City Lights,” Lavendine pull listeners into their sonic current with bright melodies and warm nostalgia. It’s a song about coming home, literally and spiritually—and it sets the tone for an album rooted in rediscovery.
The title track, “Deep Blue,” stands as the emotional centerpiece: a breathtaking anthem born from grief and spiritual reflection. “The very thing that was drowning you,” Jacy shares, “is the current that carries you to your moment of deliverance.” That duality, pain and peace, loss and faith, runs through every song, pulling listeners into the sisters’ story of survival and surrender.
Across Deep Blue, Lavendine’s vocals remain the heart of the record. Their harmonies—silky, effortless, and intertwined—carry both fragility and force. There’s a lifetime of shared experience in their blend, a rare musical chemistry that transforms every lyric into something deeply personal and universal at once.
Tracks like “Waterless Cloud” and “Who Am I To Say” showcase the duo’s gift for crafting melodic, emotionally charged pop with spiritual depth. “Diamonds in the Sky” closes the record on a hopeful note, shining with the message that light always finds its way through.
With Needham’s bold production amplifying their organic sound, Deep Blue feels both timeless and modern—a fusion of pop, rock, and faith-driven storytelling that defies easy categorization. It’s a project that doesn’t chase trends; it breathes authenticity.
What makes Lavendine stand out is their unwavering honesty. They’ve faced immense personal challenges, yet instead of breaking, they’ve transformed that pain into art that uplifts others. Deep Blue is more than an album—it’s a declaration of endurance, faith, and the unshakable bond between two sisters who’ve weathered the storm and emerged stronger.

About Lavendine
Lavendine, the musical duo comprised of sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers, has made a name for themselves in the contemporary music scene with heartfelt, powerful songs that reflect their personal and artistic journey. They have garnered attention from outlets like American Songwriter, FAME Magazine, and Hollywood Digest, earning three Top 25 Adult Contemporary singles on the Mediabase and Billboard AC charts: “Rapture,” “Open Up a Window,” and “Here to You.”
Their 2022 single, “Finding My Way Home,” produced by Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Stevie Nicks), marked a pivotal moment for Lavendine. Initially a ballad, the track transformed into a high-energy EDM-inspired jam that returned them to the AC Top 25 and climbed to #2 on the Mediabase AC Independent Rankings by January 2023. The song gained heavy rotation on Dash Radio Hits and saw a 7,800% increase in streams on Pandora AMP. This success earned Lavendine a feature on Jim Brickman’s national radio show, further cementing their prominence.
Born in Liberal, Kansas, and raised in Oklahoma, Jacy and Jana discovered their passion for music at a young age, performing in church by the age of four. Encouraged by their mother, they convinced their parents to let them move to Nashville after two years of college. However, without industry connections, they faced producers more focused on marketing than their artistry.
They returned to Oklahoma, finding success in ventures like opening a day spa and hosting a popular radio show. Yet their love for music never wavered, leading them back to Nashville to reignite their dream.
The sisters faced significant health challenges along their journey. Jana was diagnosed with a tumor near her brainstem, resulting in 80% hearing loss in one ear. Jacy endured multiple surgeries, including one for an ectopic pregnancy. Despite these hurdles, they remained hopeful and resilient. Their persistence led them to connect with producer Danny Duncan (Bruce Springsteen, Usher, Amy Grant), who embraced their sound and vision. With his support, they rediscovered their confidence and reaffirmed their place in the music industry.
Jacy’s vivid dream of balancing on the back of a flying whale, surrounded by rising waters, served as a powerful metaphor for Lavendine’s journey. It reminded them of the Biblical story of Jonah—a symbol of emerging from hardship. This imagery inspired their upcoming EP, Deep Blue, which represents the most authentic music they’ve ever created.
Recorded at Los Angeles’ East West Studios and mixed at Nashville’s Lala Mansion, Deep Blue features top session musicians such as Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, David Bowie), David Levita (Tim McGraw, Alanis Morissette), and Jamie Muhoberac (Madonna, Seal). The project was produced and mixed by Mark Needham and co-produced by Ed Seay and Brian Pruitt.
The EP’s lead single, “City Lights,” embodies an energetic vintage rock flair, with lyrics that tell the story of finally coming home after being away for far too long. It captures the feeling of returning to a place that feels like home, full of nostalgia and relief. Other tracks explore themes of hope and empowerment, including “Waterless Cloud,” which addresses breaking free from narcissistic abuse, and “Diamonds in the Sky,” a song about leaving the past behind and reaching for a brighter future.
Their mission is clear: to inspire listeners facing challenges by showing that no matter the obstacles, it’s possible to achieve the dreams you hold in your heart.
“Wanna forget this pain and leave it all behind… I’ll be floating among the stars.”
