Lavendine, the ethereal melodic pop-rock duo comprised of sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers, released their highly anticipated new single, “Waterless Cloud,” on March 14th. The track, with its haunting, mid-tempo rhythm and melancholic yet powerful energy, marks a bold step forward in their artistic evolution.
Drawing from themes of deception and liberation, “Waterless Cloud” is an introspective exploration of narcissism and emotional abuse. The song is written from the perspective of someone who has suffered at the hands of a narcissistic partner, depicting that raw, pivotal moment when the illusion falls away, and the abuser is finally revealed for who they truly are.
With an eerie masquerade ball atmosphere, the song evokes the chilling sensation of being trapped under a false guise, set against a backdrop of dark reds and blacks that suggest a world of deception and manipulation. The track’s compelling mood—suspended somewhere between ethereal and intense—echoes the emotional unraveling of a victim as they break free from the clutches of control. The sisters wanted to capture that moment of clarity when the mask comes off and the narcissist’s true identity is exposed.
“The feeling we wanted to create with ‘Waterless Cloud’ is like walking through a masquerade ball, where everything is mysterious and alluring, but ultimately hollow,” says Lavendine. “It’s about realizing the person you’ve been involved with is wearing a mask, hiding their true nature. There’s a feeling of freedom when you finally see them for who they are, and that’s the exact moment we wanted to capture in this song.”
Lavendine has established themselves as an emotionally charged force in the contemporary music scene. Known for their impactful, heartfelt songwriting and boundary-defying sound, the duo has already garnered praise from notable outlets such as American Songwriter, FAME Magazine, and Hollywood Digest. Their previous singles—“Rapture,” “Open Up a Window,” and “Here to You”—have achieved impressive success, each landing in the Top 25 on the Mediabase and Billboard AC charts.
Described as “heartfelt lyrics with a melody that is not only catchy but feels smooth and influential” by The Celebrity Cafe, Lavendine continues to prove they will not be confined to any one genre, blending elements of pop, rock, and soul to create music that resonates deeply with listeners.

About Lavendine
Lavendine, the musical duo comprised of sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers, has made a name for themselves in the contemporary music scene with heartfelt, powerful songs that reflect their personal and artistic journey. They have garnered attention from outlets like American Songwriter, FAME Magazine, and Hollywood Digest, earning three Top 25 Adult Contemporary singles on the Mediabase and Billboard AC charts: “Rapture,” “Open Up a Window,” and “Here to You.”
Their 2022 single, “Finding My Way Home,” produced by Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Stevie Nicks), marked a pivotal moment for Lavendine. Initially a ballad, the track transformed into a high-energy EDM-inspired jam that returned them to the AC Top 25 and climbed to #2 on the Mediabase AC Independent Rankings by January 2023. The song gained heavy rotation on Dash Radio Hits and saw a 7,800% increase in streams on Pandora AMP. This success earned Lavendine a feature on Jim Brickman’s national radio show, further cementing their prominence.
Born in Liberal, Kansas, and raised in Oklahoma, Jacy and Jana discovered their passion for music at a young age, performing in church by the age of four. Encouraged by their mother, they convinced their parents to let them move to Nashville after two years of college. However, without industry connections, they faced producers more focused on marketing than their artistry.
They returned to Oklahoma, finding success in ventures like opening a day spa and hosting a popular radio show. Yet their love for music never wavered, leading them back to Nashville to reignite their dream.
The sisters faced significant health challenges along their journey. Jana was diagnosed with a tumor near her brainstem, resulting in 80% hearing loss in one ear. Jacy endured multiple surgeries, including one for an ectopic pregnancy. Despite these hurdles, they remained hopeful and resilient. Their persistence led them to connect with producer Danny Duncan (Bruce Springsteen, Usher, Amy Grant), who embraced their sound and vision. With his support, they rediscovered their confidence and reaffirmed their place in the music industry.
Jacy’s vivid dream of balancing on the back of a flying whale, surrounded by rising waters, served as a powerful metaphor for Lavendine’s journey. It reminded them of the Biblical story of Jonah—a symbol of emerging from hardship. This imagery inspired their upcoming EP, Deep Blue, which represents the most authentic music they’ve ever created.
Recorded at Los Angeles’ East West Studios and mixed at Nashville’s Lala Mansion, Deep Blue features top session musicians such as Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, David Bowie), David Levita (Tim McGraw, Alanis Morissette), and Jamie Muhoberac (Madonna, Seal). The project was produced and mixed by Mark Needham and co-produced by Ed Seay and Brian Pruitt.
The EP’s lead single, “City Lights,” embodies an energetic vintage rock flair, with lyrics that tell the story of finally coming home after being away for far too long. It captures the feeling of returning to a place that feels like home, full of nostalgia and relief. Other tracks explore themes of hope and empowerment, including “Waterless Cloud,” which addresses breaking free from narcissistic abuse, and “Diamonds in the Sky,” a song about leaving the past behind and reaching for a brighter future.
Their mission is clear: to inspire listeners facing challenges by showing that no matter the obstacles, it’s possible to achieve the dreams you hold in your heart.
“Wanna forget this pain and leave it all behind… I’ll be floating among the stars.”
