When actual talent hits, the perfect meeting of a great song and unignorable artistic value, you really know about it. The sound ignites something rare within, capturing a moment of exciting originality and nostalgic roots at the very same time. Something genuine, interesting, catchy, and loaded with genuine ability.
Stephània could well be the artist that lights up the organic indie realm this year. Wait For Me is a timelessly beautiful, soulfully delivered new single, from a songwriter and performer whose actual, natural talent shines with impeccable brightness.
Beginning with an ambient production, lo-fi distant rhythms and a whispered voicemail from Mum, Wait For Me is instantly genuine and evocative, connecting for its personal humanity and heart. Soon enough, the song proceeds through a piano-led old school RnB realm, within which Stephània’s voice is sublime, meandering seamlessly through the highs and lows of this extensive new song.
To finish the process with style and impact, the hook for Wait For Me is second to none, a kind of satisfying but also lingering, unresolved emotional peak, which rounds off the journey of the verses incredibly well, in my view.
An interesting song, traditional but with just enough of that something fresh and organic to really light up the indie space right now. Stephània has something special about her approach, which could hold the potential to really break through the noise, and it’s not with filler or falseness – not with gimmicks or attention grabs – it’s with pure talent, and songwriting that feels like it was born from a place of needing to write and express these feelings. As such, listeners are granted the same level of comfort and escapism when they fall into the music.
