It's a day that's been prophesied and speculated about for years: The day one of the extremely talented members of Eisley goes solo. Would it be Sherri DuPree-Bemis or Stacy King? Both have shared songwriting duties for the family band, but King, the youngest member, is finally breaking out on her own with a project called Sucré, in which she has enlisted the help of her husband, Mutemath's Darren King, and Jeremy Larson.

You might remember the incredible rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Silver Springs" King performed with Larson and her husband. Judging by the above video, which offers a 45-second preview of the album, it will be more orchestral and layered. Or, you can stream "When We Were Young," Sucré's first single, over at Spinner and listen for yourself.

The album, due April 10, comes after Eisley's 11th release -- their second after breaking away from Warner Brothers and signing with Equal Vision Records in 2010. In the meantime, it appears King will remain an active member of Eisley. The band has a spring tour that will end at the Granada Theater on April 1, just days before Sucré's release date.
