Lovers’ Roulette
Lovers’ Roulette by Stephen Lind seeks to push boundaries of techno pop. The song draws inspiration from artists like Keisha and Miley Cyrus and other contemporary pop trends. The production of the track is top notch for an independent dance track. The frequency bands are evenly defined and the filters over the various instruments sound tight and effective for the song’s genre.
The song explores themes of heartbreak and liberation. The song is dark, edgy, and screams out against social constructs. With its unapologetic and aggressive outlook, the song would fit well into noir thriller movies. The song would find a place in work of arts in the thriller-horror genre akin to that of Pascal Laugier’s “The Tall Man.“ Furthermore, a short feature film/music video for Lovers’ Roulette was also released. The video was directed by Lauren Hoover and produced by Bryant Berry & Lauren Hoover. Written by Stephen Lind, it won “Best Music Video” at the Paradise Film Festival. The video is now available on YouTube.
Lover’s Roulette is an essential addition to horror-pop. In addition, the song also is the leading single and serves as the title track for his debut EP.
Stephen Lind – Getaway
Getaway is another iconic number in the discography of Stephen Lind. The 4th track off his debut effort, Getaway, is the song that has a visible shift in mood. The song is more upbeat and relies greatly on vocal filters and pitch correction to bring worth a more techno-dance vibe. Yet, the song remains true to its pop roots. The lyrical narrative revolves around dealing with complex emotions and the feeling of being a victim in a relationship.
The song would work well in fantasy dramas which explore complex relationship problems. Perhaps a movie that’s set in future and has a plot which offers the opportunity to explore the fantasy elements that the music can add to the visual dynamics. Would it be too far fetche’d to imagine it in a cartoon instead?
In conclusion, Stephen Lind has been making heads turn in the indie music scene of LA and his hometown Tucson, Arizona. The queer pop artist’s passion for pop music stems from his infatuation with artists like Ashlee Simpson and Gwen Stefani, besides others.
