Emerging as one of the most distinct and innovative voices in contemporary music, Stephan Folkes’ new single, "Somebody Out There," cements his position as an artist unafraid to explore the boundaries of genre and emotion. Known for his individuality and fearless expression, Stephan's latest release taps into the supernatural and the deeply personal in a way that feels both haunting and empowering.
The song’s eerie atmosphere and unsettling narrative come from a true story about a group of British teens who, after using a Ouija board in an abandoned building, find themselves faced with consequences they never expected. Stephan takes this chilling tale and transforms it into a powerful exploration of curiosity and the unknown, creating an immersive experience that pulls listeners in from the very first note. The combination of paranormal intrigue and raw emotional energy makes “Somebody Out There” more than just a haunting story—it becomes a reflection of Stephan’s inner world.
Stephan’s personal experiences, especially those related to growing up with special needs and a life-changing hospitalization at five, continue to inform his music. These formative years of struggle and triumph have led to a sound that’s as multifaceted as his journey. On “Somebody Out There,” his vocals are emotionally charged, cutting through the atmospheric production with a rawness that feels deeply authentic. Every line feels like it’s coming from a place of lived experience, making it clear that Stephan's music is as much about empowerment as it is about storytelling.
Musically, the track seamlessly blends alternative indie rock, R&B, and soul, defying any easy categorization. This genre-defying sound is a testament to Stephan’s bold artistic vision and commitment to creative freedom. The song feels cinematic, with its lush, atmospheric soundscapes pulling the listener into a world of mystery and emotional depth. Fans of experimental pop, psychological thrillers, and late-night playlists will find this track an alluring addition to their music library.
As Stephan continues to carve his path in the music world, “Somebody Out There” serves as a compelling introduction to the artist’s unique voice and creative journey. With his growing fanbase and plans for a UK tour, he is proving that his music isn’t just about entertaining—it’s about connecting, empowering, and opening up spaces for self-discovery.
