Sonia Stein delivers Golden, an EP positioned at the edge of motherhood, revisiting her twenties with clarity, restraint, and renewed emotional ownership.
Blending existing cuts with new material, the project moves through connection, loss and self-awareness.
Framed as a coming-of-age reflection on time, pressure and perspective.
This EP is my last project before crossing the threshold of motherhood. The songs feel like a trip or tour through my mind in my early and mid twenties, the intensity of the emotions that come with that time, having a little more space and compassion and humour for them now with enough distance. It feels good to own the parts of myself that used to feel embarrassing or ‘too much’ and interpret them from the vantage point I have now.
On the title track, she adds:
‘Golden’ is a song that feels like a coming of age meditation on growth, impatience, presence, doubt, acceptance and the quiet value of ordinary moments. It’s about learning that peace and purpose aren’t destinations at the end of a road but rather hidden on the stretch of road you’re already on.
Shaped through a network of international collaborators, Golden positions Stein in a space where personal evolution and sonic restraint move in parallel.
