Stephan Folkes summons shadows and soul in new single “Somebody out there?”
Stephan Folkes has released a captivating new single titled “Somebody out there?” that blends reality with the surreal. This intriguing song touches on a question many of us ponder in the dark. The track is inspired by a real-life spooky experience involving a group of British teenagers. It unfolds like a ghost story, all wrapped in rich vocals and a cinematic vibe. Folkes is known for his creative approach to music, and here, he dives even deeper into the mysteries of the unknown.
Drawing from alternative rock, dreamy pop, and soulful R&B, “Somebody out there?” mixes genres in a fresh and innovative way. This song is filled with moody sounds that swirl around, echoing guitars and distant beats, capturing the thrill and tension of youthful exploration that may have gone too far. You can almost imagine hearing floorboards creak and whispers lingering in the background. But it’s Folkes’ impressive voice that truly stands out. He delivers his performance with deep emotion and a hint of unease, bringing an intimacy that feels personal and unsettling. The feeling is akin to sharing a secret in the quiet of night and hard to forget.
“Somebody out there?” treads between a gripping mystery and deeper, more thoughtful questions about life. The story starts with an Ouija board in a deserted building, but the fear that lingers, the questions that arise, and the sense that something may have followed you home. Stephan Folkes has created something special for those who enjoy experimental music and songs that feel like a vivid, dreamlike experience. “Somebody out there?” is an invitation to explore the unknown and a reminder that certain mysteries, once uncovered, can leave a lasting impact.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
