STEFY is a pop band from Orange County, California. The group, formerly known as "The Lovely", consists of Stefy Rae (vocals), Jason Gaviati (keyboard) and Jordan Plosky (drums). Their debut album, The Orange Album, was released by Wind-up Records on August 28, 2006.
Their first single, "Chelsea", was released in June, 2006 and can be heard on the EA Sports video game 2006 FIFA World Cup. It was also featured, alongside "Fool For Love," on the soundtrack and movie John Tucker Must Die that premiered in theaters July 28. The song is also used as the theme song for Kelly Kelly's "Kelly's Exposé" segment on World Wrestling Entertainment's ECW brand. "Chelsea" was featured on the Abercrombie & Fitch in-store playlist for the month of August 2006. On January 16, 2007, a spanglish version of "Chelsea" was released on iTunes for purchase. The track was also remixed by DJs like Chris Cox and Morgan Page. The beginning of the song resembles the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)".
On April 23, 2007, The Orange Album was released in the UK.
Particularly Stefy Rae receives outstanding feedback from music critics; her "feisty" or "foxy" style is often compared to Gwen Stefani and Pink.[1]
Although establishing a cult following, the group has not had much wide-stream popularity across the United States, however they have had some success in the UK and charted at number 15 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play.
In an interview, lead singer Stefy Rae has said that she hopes to have the second album released by Summertime (Australian Winter).
