Jasmin Stone Shares Dream Pop Single "Faceless"

Jasmin Stone returns today with “Faceless,” a dream pop single that arrives one day after its companion video. The song explores isolation and the sense of being trapped behind a screen, feelings the artist connects to the pandemic era and its lingering effect on how people relate to one another.

Stone is a songwriter, composer, and multimedia artist with a background in film and television scoring. Years of work in that world have shaped how she approaches a release like this one: her music carries a cinematic sensibility, weaving narrative songwriting together with visual storytelling rather than treating the two as separate tasks. “Faceless” and its video make that approach easy to see, built together rather than one following the other as an afterthought.

Stone has earned national recognition for her scoring work, including two songwriting honors comparable to ASCAP’s and a National Academy Award for Best Original Score in Cinema and Television. She also won a songwriting competition judged by Coldplay producer Danton Supple, and scored a documentary series about the Israeli singer Ofra Haza. Her collaborations reach further still: she co-wrote a track for DJ Offer Nissim that was featured in the opening set of a Madonna world tour. Alongside her scoring and songwriting, she has also worked in video art and poetry, a range that tracks with the multimedia instincts running through “Faceless.”

The video, released a day ahead of the single, follows several characters moving through parallel versions of daily life. They occupy the same spaces without ever quite connecting, each isolated inside their own version of events even as the others remain visible just out of reach. It’s a visual echo of the song’s central idea, and one that gives “Faceless” more to sit with than a straightforward performance clip would. “Faceless” is out now via Jessicat Records.

Sonically, the track draws on 80s synth textures, pairing a futurist sensibility with older, more atmospheric sounds. The result lands somewhere between Air and Goldfrapp, with dream pop running through the center of it. Stone builds an ethereal, self-contained world out of that pairing rather than leaning on either influence too directly. Her earlier material picked up radio play on independent stations in France, building an audience ahead of this release.

With “Faceless” now out, Stone adds another entry to a catalog built as much from visual storytelling as from songwriting, one more piece of a body of work that treats the screen as both subject and setting.
