Out of Style

“Sometimes I look at the world in a darker way,” says Marc Scibilia, “but when I hear a melody, when a lyric comes to me, I feel like things are going to be OK.” While the sounds and styles of the eleven songs on Scibilia’s debut album, Out of Style, span a broad spectrum—from singer-songwriter narratives to dance beats, drawing on folk, pop, and rock along the way—this hard-fought but positive spirit never wavers. Produced by critically acclaimed artist and hitmaker Butch Walker (Pink, Fall Out Boy, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban), and one of the first releases on the new IRS Nashville imprint of Capitol Records, Scibilia’s LP marks the arrival of a major new talent. “Marc came out on the road with me and in five minutes, I fell in love with him,” says Walker. “I’m a sucker for someone who can write a song with heart and emotion and meaning, but still have the decency to put a pop hook in it and make it relatable. You just want him to win, he deserves it—he’s just a good soul.”
