Stefanie Tom’s debut EP, Mood, is a breath of fresh air in the pop scene, bringing genuine emotion and a raw sense of self to every track. Each song is a slice of life, capturing the highs, lows, and hilarious mishaps of young adulthood with a rare honesty. Stefanie’s lyrics are refreshingly straightforward, making you feel as though she’s sharing stories with you one-on-one rather than performing on a stage. It’s this sense of intimacy that makes Mood such a relatable listen.

The track “Basketball Shorts” stands out as both witty and painfully relatable, as Stefanie unpacks the common experience of falling for an idea of someone rather than who they truly are. Her storytelling is sharp and funny, with lyrics like, “I think that I catfished myself,” adding a twist of humor to a theme that could easily veer into self-pity. Instead, Stefanie delivers it with lighthearted confidence, giving the track a catchy, empowering feel that makes it easy to listen to on repeat.

With Mood, Stefanie Tom is introducing herself as a pop artist with a unique voice and an authentic approach to songwriting. Her willingness to laugh at herself, to reflect deeply, and to be real about her experiences sets her apart in a genre that often favors gloss over grit. This EP is Stefanie’s personal journey packaged in six tracks, and for listeners, it’s a relatable soundtrack for anyone navigating the ups and downs of life and love.
