NEW YORK, NY | JUNE 28, 2024: Emerging indie artist Jeff Fein is set to release his thought-provoking folk-pop single, “In Front of a Screen,” on June 28th, 2024. The track captures the tragicomic reality of modern life, where screens dominate our daily existence, often at the expense of real-life experiences.
“In Front of a Screen” is an honest declaration from Fein, who penned the song after yet another day filled with screen time, both at work and at home. “I’d spent all day at work on my computer, and then I came home and relaxed by looking at my phone,” says Fein. “It occurred to me that I’d essentially spent my whole day in front of screens and that this has become the norm in our society.”
Fein’s poignant lyrics and melodic composition serve as a humorous lament for the time lost to digital devices. “I started singing the song just as it sounds in the chorus and I sat down at the keyboard to put some chords behind the melody,” he explains. “I think it’s interesting how quickly smartphones in particular have become so ubiquitous. And even though I’m very conscious of it, I’m just as addicted to my smartphone as everyone else.”
The single, characterized by its introspective lyrics and compelling folk-pop sound, reflects both Fein’s personal experiences and broader societal observations. “In Front of a Screen” is not just a song but a commentary on our collective screen addiction and a call to reclaim the “analog” moments in our day-to-day lives.
Jeff Fein’s music continues to resonate with listeners as authentic and relatable. With “In Front of a Screen,” he once again demonstrates his ability to articulate contemporary issues through his unique musical lens. Previous releases include “Luxury”, a song that delves into the notion that the material comforts we often take for granted are, in fact, astonishing if we pause to reflect on them.
The single will be available on all major streaming platforms on June 28th, 2024
