Two years after making her musical debut with a cover of the American gospel standard Hear O Lord, singer Stacey Mirander returns with a romantic ballad titled Call You Mine, blending elements of country and reggae. The song, produced by Solomon ‘Triple Ess’ Salmon, was released on May 12.

“The inspiration came from the vulnerability and unconditional nature of real love. The idea that someone could love you not just despite your flaws, but through them, asks for both grace and deep emotional labour,” Mirander explained, adding that the song’s lyrics stem from personal experience.

She also reflected on how country music has influenced her musical style. “Country music—and music in general—has always played a significant role in my life. While I don’t claim to be a traditional country singer, my artistry is deeply rooted in the cultural influences I grew up with. Icons like Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, and Johnny Cash have left a lasting imprint on me, not just for their music, but for their storytelling. What I love most about country music is its raw honesty. It expresses both the greatest love and the deepest heartache—sometimes in the same song. Through my own creative work, I aim to channel that same emotional truth, blending tradition with my own perspective,” she said.

Originally from Mitchell Town in Clarendon, Mirander attended Clarendon College before studying overseas. She earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration and later a master’s in educational studies from the University of Phoenix.

Her passion for music began at an early age. “Music found me when I was six years old. One Saturday evening, my mom—who was a member of Jamaica Poets in Unity—took me to ‘Dub Club’ at Old Harbour Primary School, where musicians, poets, artists, and dancers came together in perfect harmony. Riddims pulsed through the air, laughter wove into the rhythm. The energy was electric, alive. Lascelles ‘Guitsy’ Beckford asked if I wanted to sing a song. I said yes. And in that moment, I fell in love—with music, with performance, with that feeling of connection,” she shared.

Mirander added, “For years, music lived quietly inside me—an old love I’d put on pause. It wasn’t until 2024 that I truly realized I had a gift for songwriting and singing. The turning point came when I began writing and doing small performances. The reaction I received was overwhelming—in the best way. Their encouragement gave me the confidence to embrace my voice, my story, and my sound. Now, I’m creating from a place of honesty and passion, drawing inspiration from my own journey and the emotions we all share. My music reflects growth, resilience, and the power of rediscovering your purpose—no matter when it happens.”
