Bedroom Alt-Pop Artist Zeph Shares New Video For “friends or not”
Inspired in equal parts by film composers like Hans Zimmer as she is her pop contemporaries, Maryland-based singer/producer Zeph has continued to hone in on her own cinematic alternative-pop songs. Channeling this medium to share her own insecurities and emotions, Zeph has shared her new single “friends or not” and its accompanying visual.
“My dream job since I was 10 was to be a movie score composer. I really want my music to sound like little soundtracks to people’s feelings or how I’m feeling or pretty images or videos that I see. That’s why I post videos—it’s like a mini film score every time. I take a lot of inspiration from movie score composers like Hans Zimmer. I try to use a lot of orchestral instruments in my music.”
For her latest “short”, “friends or not” explores the melancholic dilemma of the blurry status of a relationship. A common trope in rom-coms, she gives the style a Gen-Z flare with electro-pop influences against orchestral synth arrangements.
