Stephen Star - Persephone

Stephen Sorensen - alias Stephen Star - is a criminally underrated Irish indie artist with a beautiful voice and plenty of poetic lyricism to go around. An ode to the Greek goddess of spring and vegetation, the warm finger-plucking acoustics are gentle, soft and stirring, carrying the song forward. This single takes a more folk-inspired turn than previous, more poppier releases. A sweet song to listen to as rain droplets race each other down a car window.
