Electronic Pop from SEPH

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, SEPH is the musical moniker of Joseph Majka, an artist who draws inspiration from a diverse range of musical influences, including Allie X, MARINA, Tove Lo and Years & Years among others. His musical journey began with the project Afterglow, which featured singles like “No Serenity” and “Rainbow.” SEPH, along with his twin, embarked on a musical adventure, performing under the name Twinzsz and playing a series of shows from 2016 to 2017. However, SEPH’s destiny was always that of a solo artist, a path he had been treading since the age of 13 when he began crafting his songs independently.

His passion for music deepened during his college years, where he took his craft seriously. SEPH’s commitment to music led him to study music recording and audio production at Recording Workshop in early 2018, further expanding his knowledge of music production. In September 2021, SEPH released his debut full-length record, Electric Expressions, featuring standout singles such as “Out of My Head,” “Static Crush” and “Euphoria.”

Now, SEPH has unveiled his latest single, “Secrets Taste Like You,” the opening track from his upcoming sophomore album set to drop next year. The single was crafted at Vaughan Music Studios in Upper Arlington, Ohio, with audio engineer Matthew Hagberg lending his expertise to the production.

“Secrets Taste Like You” offers a captivating dive into dreamy electronic pop. The song unravels with ethereal synth tones and delicate sonic textures that create an immersive atmosphere. SEPH’s velvety vocals gracefully emerge, floating atop the arrangement, accompanied by a subtle yet insistent beat. As the song progresses, it swells into a euphoric chorus, replete with infectious melodies and a rich tapestry of electronic instrumentation. “Secrets Taste Like You” delivers a resplendent sound that heightens anticipation for SEPH’s forthcoming sophomore record.

At its core, “Secrets Taste Like You” is a song that dives into the myriad of emotions and sensations experienced during a bittersweet romance. The chorus expresses an enduring desire with the poignant lyrics, “As long as I live, I don’t wanna see another day without you.” Yet, the introductory, interlude, and concluding segments of the song feature a haunting and repetitive refrain; “Secrets taste just like you.” This lyrical juxtaposition captures the complex, contradictory nature of love, where sweetness and sorrow often coexist.

As SEPH gears up for the release of his sophomore album in the coming year, the anticipation is palpable. This new record promises to unveil the next chapter of his thrilling sonic journey, marked by heightened intensity, emotion and passion. Commenting on his upcoming LP, he shares, “The journey from where I was when I wrote these songs to now is truly something I never thought I could do. I gave too much of myself to someone who could never give anything back. And now standing on the other side of it all is a work of art that I’m so glad will see the light of day. Or, should I say, the Dawn…”
