The Devil is the fifth studio album by American multi-genre project Blue Stahli, and the second vocal album following Blue Stahli. It was released in chapters, the first of which was released on December 17, 2013.[3] The full album was released on October 2, 2015.[4] The album features guest appearances from Australian musician Emma Anzai of Sick Puppies and American singer Mark Salomon.

Production and release[edit]

Work on the album began as early as April,[5] but the album was announced on November 14, when the cover art was released via Facebook,[6] it was revealed that the album would be released in chapters, with two songs per chapter, much like Celldweller's Wish Upon a Blackstar.[7] In an interview, Autrey stated that he wanted to finish and release the album in 2014, but ended up releasing it at a later date.[8][9]

Chapter 01[edit]

On May 31, "Down In Flames" and "The Fall" were confirmed as songs for a new vocal album,[10] and were completed on November 7.[11] Details for the first chapter were later released on November 14, and both songs were confirmed to make up the first chapter, they were made available for pre-order on November 19[12] and were finally released on December 17.

Full album[edit]

In late August, Bret mentioned working on a new track, "Not Over 'Til We Say So",[20] that would appear on the album. On October 10, in a "Stahlivision" video, Bret revealed that "Not Over 'Til We Say So" was almost done, and that Emma Anzai of Sick Puppies had contributed bass and vocals to the track.[21] It was later released as a single on February 16, 2015.[22]

In an episode of Ask Blue Stahli titled "Sing Like a Lady", he conceded that Chapter 02 was "the last chapter for this album", and that he was now working on releasing the remainder of The Devil as soon as possible.[23]

Vocal work for the album was complete on July 20, 2015,[24] and the tracklist was being arranged.[25]
