Watch the new music video for Stephen's 'Delilah' here

July 31, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Alternative, Indie, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Stephen’s latest music video ‘Delilah’ is an impressive visual experience. Touching on a number of personal battles, we applaud Stephen for sharing such a rich and emotional narrative around his sexuality, drug-use, and his understanding of one’s self.

"Delilah is the name I've given my shadow - my repressed, unrecognized potentials and desires," says Stephen. "She is temptation. She is seduction. The process of getting to know her has been scary and exciting, a deep sense of self-acceptance and power reached through self-annihilation." — Stephen

Stephen’s growth from over the years continues to amaze us. His forthcoming album Akrasia is coming soon and it’s safe to say we’re excited to dive into it. Don’t forget to connect with Stephen online to stay up to date on a release date and enjoy!
