When I heard this song on BBC Radio 2 (thanks Ken). I was really excited, still am BUT after listening on BBC Playlist 3 or 4 times....I think its a tad too long!!
I still love it but it is a bit long....it repeats too much.

How awesome would it be? My reaction would probably best be described by a song from The Lonely Island called "J*zz In My Pants"!

Classy, huh?

If Stevie had here way, I'm sure every song would be 12-minutes long.

Stevie Nicks continues to fan anticipation for her upcoming solo studio album 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault with song previews. The Fleetwood Mac star's latest offering is a reworking of a late 70s Nicks-penned demo called "Starshine"

The two-time Grammy winner posted the video on Sept. 15 at her official Facebook page. The 15-second clip reveals the chorus of the uptempo pop-rocker singing the chorus, "Starshine... Oh you used to be silver/Lovelight, lover's stare. Well you used to make me shiver."

"Starshine" premiered on BBC Radio 2 where Ken Bruce debuted the full track on his show today. Click here and advance the program ahead to the 2:22:14 mark to listen to the song in its entirety. The track will be available to purchase in iTunes on Sept. 15.

Nicks rearranged and re-recorded the demo in the studio and has included it among 14 songs on "24 Karat Gold." The album is primarily an eclectic collection of self-penned songs, which the enduring pop diva recorded over the years, but never released on an album. Co-produced by Nicks along with ex-Eurythmics co-frontman Dave Stewart and longtime Nick's bandmember and session guitarist Waddy Wachtel, the tracks were newly recorded in Nashville and mixed in Los Angeles.

The veteran singer-songwriter previously previewed ten other tracks from the album earlier this month, including "The Dealer," "If You were My Love," "Mabel Normand," "Belle Fleur," "All the Beautiful Worlds," "Lady," "I Don't Care," "Hard Advice" and "Carousel" and "Cathouse Blues." "24 Karat Gold" is available for pre-order and will be released Oct. 7 on the Reprise label. Click here for more information.

The diminutive songstress will hit the road this fall with the reunited Fleetwood Mac classic line-up, which will include the newly rejoined Christine McVie. The tour kicks off the tour in on Sept. 20 in Minneapolis, Minneapolis, at Target Centre and wrap up in on Dec. 14 in Dallas, Texas, at American Airlines Centre. For more information, click here.

Did you know? Stevie Nicks has revealed the over half the songs contained on "24 Karat" are about Fleetwood Mac bandmate and ex-lover Lindsey Buckingham.

don't think it's as repetitive as the stuff on In Your Dreams… There is a nice musical break in the song and she doesn't have too many lyrics. I totally enjoy it.

That bridge is amazing!! Can't stop listening.

I like it, it's good and I'm sure it will grow on me even more as time passes. I have to admit though, I think I am going to miss polished final products like her previous albums. The 24 Karat songs all have a very live feel to them (probably because most of them basically are) and I also like hearing Stevie harmonize with herself and it doesn't seem like we're going to be getting much of that. That doesn't take away from my excitement though!

This song is every bit as good as Enchanted and it sounds good next to The Dealer.

It is Smokin' indeed! I can't wait to buy the single later tonight. I know it's formally not available until tomorrow-but I seem to be able to get the singles on Itunes around 8 or 9 PM pacific time.
