    Stephanie Babirak Unveils Emotionally Charged Song "Waves and Whispers"

    22 March 2024

    The acclaimed classically trained harpist-turned-singer fuses folk-pop with harp-forward echoes of the heart.

    New York, NY (March 22, 2023) - Stephanie Babirak, acclaimed folk-pop artist and classical harpist, drops the latest release of her latest single, “Waves and Whispers,” which debuts on Friday, March 22, 2024.
    “Waves and Whispers” captures the essence of beachy folk-pop with its haunting melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Combining Babirak's signature harp melodies with evocative vocals, the song explores themes of love, loss, and the pain of separation. Written during a period of personal introspection, the song reflects Babirak's own experience of going no contact with a loved one, expressing the agony of not being able to communicate with someone deeply missed.

    This song started off as just a little melody on the harp. I hadn't written a song for over a decade (I was pursuing a career as a classical harpist) and this was the melody that brought me back to songwriting...and I've written many songs since!"

    Whether you are going through a breakup or have lost someone or are choosing not to speak to someone,  I think we all have the experience of the pain of not being able to talk to someone you love very much and having every little mundane thing remind you of them."
