This summer’s hottest club is keeping its doors open for more good times as The Aces announce Gold Star Baby Deluxe will be released in February of 2026 via SoundOn. Originally released back in August, Gold Star Baby is a concept album that doesn’t take itself too seriously. A metaphorical night club in every city where if you know…you know, everyone and anyone is invited to indulge in a celebration of queerness and escapist, sapphic, disco-pop fun.

The Aces today released the deluxe album’s first bonus track, “Square One.” A story of the two steps forward, one step backward approach to moving on from heartbreak.

The band’s Alisa Ramirez shared, “I was in a place emotionally when we were writing ‘Square One’ where although a lot of time had passed since a heartbreak, the smallest thing could trigger all those feelings again. I felt really frustrated with the process of healing. I had to reckon with the fact that even though I so badly wanted to be moved on, I just wasn’t. You can’t snap your fingers and tell your heart to mend back together, it doesn’t work that way. So this song was finally me accepting that and sitting in those emotions.”
