Sophia Stevens effortlessly stuns with her unique voice and immediate, engaging songwriting. A teen songwriter on the verge of some very exciting stuff, Sophie Stevens’s ‘Fervor’ is a perfect introduction to this songwriter’s multi-faceted songwriting style.
Based in California’s Carmel, Sophia Stevens is a singer and songwriter who, at 17 years of age, already has more than 300 songs written in her name. The numbers do only tell half of the story though, as if these songs are half as solid, driving, or visceral as ‘Fervor’, then we’re ready to witness the birth of a songwriting phenomenon with her debut album set to release this summer.
‘Fervor’ is punchy and quirky with Stevens’s deep, outstanding vocal character that immediately grabs all the attention, and her choice of an upright bass that couples her vocals on the verses, before vanishing entirely in favor of an ensemble of pure rock. A snappy beat, a litany of lush, overdriven rhythm guitars, and a song that’s written to perfection, ‘Fervor’ drives the listener with its complex structure that highlights the dark, subdued verses with hectic and high-octane everything else. Wonderfully produced, making for a dense instrumental tapestry that beautifully highlights Stevens’s unique vocal character.
‘Fervor’ is a truly exceptional introduction to the world of Sophia Stevens, who is capable of taking the world of indie rock by storm with her debut album dropping soon. A young singer and songwriter with a one-of-a-kind voice, Sophia Stevens is an amazing discovery.
