SONIA STEIN RELEASES DREAMY NEW SINGLE ‘EYES’

London-based Polish singer-songwriter Sonia Stein unveils ‘Eyes’, a shimmering, emotionally charged pop single that captures the suspended moment of falling in love at first sight. Marking the first release from her forthcoming EP, ‘Eyes’ opens a new chapter in Sonia’s exploration of love — one that feels freer, more vulnerable, and deeply intuitive. Written during an immersive creative retreat and shaped by lush production and intimate lyricism, the track bridges the sonic world of Blooming Season while signalling an artist stepping confidently into what comes next.

‘Eyes’ captures the intensity of falling in love at first sight. Was there a specific moment or memory that sparked the narrative of the song, or does it represent a more universal feeling for you?

Eyes to me feels like it’s more of a universal feeling- that feeling of time suddenly slowing down while the world rushes past you and you’re able to have a completely immersive and personal experience despite the outside noise.

You wrote ‘Eyes’ during an immersive writing camp where you set out to remove creative limitations. How did that openness shape the sound and emotion of the track compared to your previous work?

I think feeling the freedom of just writing for the sake of writing some good songs rather than sticking to a strict brief felt very liberating even if some of the final results didn’t end up miles away from things I’d done before. Sonically and thematically I feel like “Eyes” treads some familiar ground but has a fresh feel for me anyway as I always associate a song with where and when it was written and that camp has a very special energy and place in my heart now.

This single introduces a new EP while echoing the sonic and thematic world of Blooming Season. How do you see this new project evolving your exploration of love?

I think there are some things younger me always kept close to my heart and felt a bit sheepish or unable to express. This EP feels like I’m getting to put it all out there before I head into a new chapter of my life.

Your music often balances intimacy with lush, dreamy production. How do you approach translating such fleeting, electric emotions into both lyrics and sound?

Thank you that’s a lovely complement. Writing songs lyrically to me feels like a process I have very little control over in a way. I am making conscious choices at every turn but at the same time, I don’t have a choice but to be authentic and as a result I think it creates that sense of intimacy. It’s almost like I am physically incapable of singing lyrics that I don’t mean. When it comes to adding production on top of that, I always have the feeling of what the song is trying to express top of mind and go from there. Production feels much more energetic than technical to me (as a non producer) and I am always trying to achieve a feeling rather than a sound.

As you navigate pregnancy and notice changes in your body and voice, how is this new chapter influencing your relationship with songwriting and performance?

I am weirdly looking forward to the way that becoming a mom will take over my life for a while because I just know it will be such rich and fertile ground for inspiration and creativity when the time is right. I feel really at peace with taking some much needed time off constantly feeling like I need to create output and to let whatever is meant to happen next, come as an internal irresistible urge rather than a sense of outside pressure.
