**A Flock of Seagulls’ Ali Score back with Jenn Vix collaboration on ‘You Are A 
Star’ single**

_“She who laughs last laughs loudest and proudest. If you too have maladious affairs
of the heart, Jenn’ll Vix it for you… disparate influences feeding in and bleeding
through”_ ~ **Music-News.com **

_“Vix sounds perpetually enraptured. And the Rhode Island multi-instrumentalist 
has reason to be. Her music–clear, simple melodies awash in echo– from inside its
swirl, her voice wafts up”_ ~ **Rolling Stone** (3.5 Stars)

_“Powerful and purposeful.. kick-ass with gripping vocals” _~ **Skylight Webzine**

_“What do you get when you take powerful vocals, a stunning stage presence, an iconic
image and excellence in the songwriting department and run them through a thread
connecting not one, but two, members of The Cure and a whole series of other artists
from other iconic bands, including Psychedelic Furs? You get Jenn Vix” _~ **The 
Spill Magazine**

Iconic alternative pop artist [**Jenn Vix**](https://jennvix.band/) is back with
a new retrowave single [**‘You Are A Star’**](https://youtu.be/iKqyUym5uQs), a collaborative
track featuring [**Ali Score**](https://www.discogs.com/artist/426269-Ali-Score),
original drummer of legendary Grammy-winning new wave – synthpop band** **[**A Flock Of Seagulls**](https://www.aflockofseagulls.org/).
The accompanying video was created by **JFIVENINE Media **with assistance from Ali’s
own wife **Linda Score**.

This release sees the legendary drummer return to music after a lengthy hiatus, 
putting to work the technique that helped A Flock of Seagulls become one of the 
most influential bands of their era, blazing the way for new wave and synthpop, 
becoming a Top-40 band with numerous hit songs and a Grammy to their credit, not
to mention their enigmatic presence and awe-inspiring sound, which many artists 
continue to emulate even today.

“Well, ‘You Are a Star’ is a love song. It’s a tribute to someone who worked as 
an astronomer, and an astrophysicist. The music happened very late at night, as 
I was sitting in front of the keyboard, practicing, and then the lyrics drifted 
into my mind shortly after I wrote the music…. We’re all made of stardust,” says**
Jenn Vix**.

As with her latest single[ ‘**PTSD’**](https://youtu.be/4PpNGq6iu5Q), which offers
a glimpse into her personal experience with the diagnosis and life with this disorder,
Vix worked with Grammy-nominated mastering engineer [**Chris Gehringer**](https://sterling-sound.com/engineer/chris-gehringer/#highlights)**(
Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Lady Gaga, Twenty One Pilots, St. Vincent)**.

Jenn Vix explains how this collaboration came to be: “When I was a kid, I moved 
to NYC from Miami. One of the most wonderful things about NYC at the time, was the
record shops located around the city. I would spend my weekends crate digging, and
finding new music. One of my friends at a shop downtown played me a single titled“
Talking” by A Flock of Seagulls, that he got from the UK. I couldn’t even buy it
at the time because there was only one copy in the shop. I was amazed, because I’d
never heard anything like it! A little while later, I saw the video for ‘I Ran’ 
on MTV and, at that moment, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I also wanted
to one day play music with the drummer of A Flock of Seagulls, and here I am now,
working with him! It’s a dream come true!”

“I got the conversation going with Ali through a mutual friend, who works on the
band’s sites and social media pages, and we took it from there. I was one of the
first fans of the band here in the states! Ali is not only a brilliant and highly
skilled drummer, but he’s an incredibly kind and caring person. I consider him not
only a collaborator, but a dear friend.”

Over the years, Jenn Vix has collaborated with **Reeves Gabrels (The Cure, David
Bowie, Tin Machine), John Ashton (Psychedelic Furs), Andy Anderson (The Cure, Iggy
Pop, Hawkwind), Danny Chavis (The Veldt),****Marco Pirroni (Adam Ant, Rema Rema,
The Models, Sinead O’Connor), Dirk Ivens (Absolute Body Control, The Klinik and 
Dive)**, and **Rodney Anonymous (The Dead Milkmen)**.

Launching her musical career in Rhode Island, she cut her teeth in NYC in her teens,
crossing paths with the likes of **Iggy Pop,** her first experience as a vocalist
being with 1980s one-off band **Disco Donut** (with **Adam Horovitz of The Beastie
Boys** and singer-songwriter **Nicole Willis**). A decade later, Vix broke out on
the national scene, her self-released LP received a glowing 3.5-star review in **
Rolling Stone**, who wrote, “Vix sounds perpetually enraptured. And the Rhode Island
multi-instrumentalist has reason to be. Her music–clear, simple melodies awash in
echo–is all dreaminess and shuddering, and from inside its swirl, her voice wafts
up”.

As an indication of her ever-evolving approach to her craft, in recent years, Vix
has been performing both as a solo artist and also as vocalist-drummer (on an electronic
drum kit) in Boston-based post-punk / electronic rock duo [**Feeney Vix**](https://jennvix.band/feeney-vix).
