St. Tamarin’s ‘Come With Me’ EP is a heartfelt and intimate release that shows the depth of Stephen Sooter’s musical talent and personal story. Recorded in his small home studio in Düsseldorf, this EP goes beyond typical genre limits, mixing soulful melodies, reggae rhythms, and warm guitar sounds to create something truly unique. It reflects Stephen’s Brazilian roots and years living in Germany, blending influences from artists like Gary Clark Jr. and Asa with his own fresh style. The entire project feels personal and thoughtful, inviting listeners into a space of emotional honesty and musical exploration.
The title track, “Come With Me”, stands out as the emotional core of the EP. Written for a loved one going through a difficult time, the song carries a message of hope and resilience. The use of a guitalele adds a distinctive rhythm that sets it apart from typical songs, while the soft tape recorder effects at the beginning and end give it a nostalgic, almost fragile touch. Stephen’s vocals are gentle but sincere, perfectly matching the song’s intention to comfort and support. The bass rhythm breaks away from the expected, creating a subtle tension that reflects the struggle and eventual calmness at the heart of the song. It’s clear this track was born from a deep place, making it resonate with anyone who has faced hardship.
The rest of the EP follows this honest and varied path, balancing smooth grooves with thoughtful arrangements. Each song brings its own mood while maintaining the overall feel of warmth and hope. Rather than chasing commercial trends, St. Tamarin focuses on crafting music that feels real and grounded. The mix of instruments—from electric guitar to percussion and synth—works together in harmony, showing Stephen’s skill as a multi-instrumentalist and producer. ‘Come With Me’ isn’t just a debut; it’s an invitation to listen closely, feel deeply, and find a bit of light even in dark times.
