Synth Pop from Stephen Lind

Stephen Lind is an independent pop star who’s passion for singing began at a young age growing up in Arizona. Struggling with the difficulties of being a gay artist in that area, he strived to find ways to express himself such as performing at talent shows. Since then he’s moved to Los Angeles to focus on his music career.

Following a string of stellar singles such as “Should Come Easy” and “Some Boy”, he now brings us his debut EP, titled Comfort Zone, a six track release that reflects loneliness and regret that can come after a break-up. Infectiously catchy and rhythmically grooving throughout, the EP is awash with dreamy synths and electronic beats.

Produced by Taylor Sparks (Randy Jackson, Kelsea Ballerini) at Revolver Recordings in Thousand Oaks, California, and taking influence from the mid-2000 artists like Ashlee Simpson, Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani, the artist was focused on creating a record that indulges in all of our guilty pleasures, as far as music is concerned.

Drawing inspiration from his own experiences, he looks back on a being in a new city on his own following a break-up with his partner to add an intimate authenticity into his writing. Commenting on the release, he shares, “Those emotions can be all over the place and in that moment it’s the only thing you feel. I wanted to make music that the LGBTQ community could see themselves in.”
