Stateless is the debut studio album by English-American singer Lene Lovich. It was released in October 1978 by Stiff Records and produced by Lene Lovich and Les Chappell (credited as "The Stateless").
Release
The UK version of the album was released in 1978 and in the United States in 1979.
The album was available in two different releases. The more common release had most of the songs remixed from the original versions and included the single version of "Lucky Number". On this version, the tracks were slightly shortened. While the original vocals were often straightforward, this release featured new vocals accentuating Lovich's quirky singing style.
The album cover varied between countries.
Stateless peaked at number 35 on the UK Albums Chart, while also managing to chart in Australia, the Netherlands and New Zealand. "Lucky Number" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart.
Reception
Upon its release, Stateless received positive reviews from music critics. The Village Voice's Robert Christgau called Lovich "an original" and found that her "goofy energy doesn't distract her from her feelings or damage her sex appeal or conceal a mawkish underside."
