Muse Chronicle

Sophia Stephens is a budding multi-genre artist from Indiana. She has been writing songs from a very young age and she truly enjoys her craft of songwriting. To date, she claims to have written over 500 songs! She is just 18 years old and poised to take over the listenership with her evocative lyricism and incredible musicality. Her music is a blend of contemporary styles and modern sonics. Her inspirations are artists like Florence and the Machine, Lorde, Hozier, and Adele. She also incorporates elements of the 70s rock in her music. The retro pop-rock sound resonates with a lot of people in this era. When she was 17, she published her first EP called ‘Remnental’ and in 2024, she released her first studio album- ‘Love & Greif’. She has been playing at various venues and stages around her hometown last year and plans on returning to the routine next summer.

“Sophia Stephens has a signature vocal texture that is very unique in her style of music. Each word is captivating and gives an out worldly listening experience.”

Love & Greif is a project that explores how the two polar opposite feelings interact with each other in our lives. Love and Greif may sound like very distantly related feelings but are just the two sides of the same coin. The album talks about how throughout our lives, we fall in and out of love multiple times. Personally, Sophia’s vocal tone stood out for me in all the songs. Her commanding yet groovy delivery style makes it interesting to listen to her songs. She has given both bangers like ‘Get Go’ and slow tracks like ‘Up in Flames’ in the album which keeps the balance right. ‘Get Go’ is a pop rock anthem that features upbeat drums full of energy and groovy guitars. The lyrics and the composition of the track are top notch and it is a song that will catch your attention. On the other hand, ‘Up in Flames’ has slow keys, violin, and soft drums. The passionate vocals of Sophia on this one are profound. As you go through the album, you get introduced to so many questions and answers to some of these questions which revolve around Love and Greif. Comment down and let us know your favorite track from the album.
