Background

"We Are Infinite" originally debuted at #40 on Billboard's Club Chart before peaking at #19.^[2] We Are Infinite reached #39 on the Mediabase Top 40 radio chart as of June 21, 2014.^[3]

Starling Glow's debut album is set to be released soon and reflects Liz's musical taste by combining rock-and-roll roots with electronic, dance and indie influences.^[4] The album was produced by Grammy nominated producer, songwriter and musician Billy Mohler who has worked with artists like Lifehouse, Kelly Clarkson and The Smashing Pumpkins.^[5] Starling Glow also worked with drummer Josh Freese who has played with Evanescence and Guns N' Roses, as well as Colbie Caillat, and Matthew Chamberlain who is known for his work with Kanye West, John Mayer and Sara Bareilles.^[6]
