In Strange Love, his latest single, Charleston, WV's Stephen Thomas refuses to define the genre of love and constantly challenges genres, much like Odd Future. Strange Love touches on the myriad emotional complexities of modern relationships as Thomas expresses his thoughts on love in a pop, dance, and alternative R&B track filled with polished production. Thomas excels at creating a blend of elements that seem both of the moment but have very much of personal relevance. For example, from the very first notes of Strange Love, listeners are engulfed in a space where love is undefined and emotional availability is always optional.
Thomas is honest in considering the inconvenient truth of hookup culture with lyrics such as "No risk, no sacrifice." The raw aspects of modern relationships are exposed, while his observation of emotional vulnerability is chilling. With an infectious beat and smooth vocals with comparable qualities to Justin Bieber or Ed Sheeran, Thomas builds emotive elements into Strange Love beyond its infectious beat and polished production.
Produced as a part of his forthcoming EP The Universal Me, Strange Love demonstrates Thomas’s versatility and has a self-defined “universal” genre approach. Stephen Thomas is quickly becoming a powerful and relevant voice in music today with continued exposure from MTV and more. Strange Love is more than a song; it’s a commentary on the mental complexities that so many traverse in today’s digital world.
