Sephora Mars makes a compelling return with “Myself(s),” a single that gains fresh significance as the opening chapter of her re-emergence after five years away from the public eye. Originally released in 2020, the track captures an artist examining the complicated relationship between identity, self-perception and the inner voice that accompanies us through different stages of life. Revisiting the song now gives it an intriguing second life, allowing listeners to experience an earlier reflection through the perspective of an artist who has spent years evolving away from the spotlight.
Hailing from Valencia, Spain, Sephora Mars began writing and performing at just 13, eventually becoming part of the city’s alternative punk community and performing across Spain and France. Her artistic direction shifted significantly after leaving Nozero and later collaborating with producer Alejandro Ponte of Shibuya. Together, they explored a darker and more experimental electronic territory, moving beyond her punk beginnings and drawing inspiration from artists such as Grimes, Reol and PVRIS. “Myself(s)” emerged during this period of creative transformation.
The song’s greatest appeal comes from the intimacy of its subject matter and the sense that it represents a conversation with oneself. Sephora’s decision to return to a track written during an earlier chapter of her life creates an interesting contrast between who she was then and who she has become since. Her five-year absence, during which she disconnected from social media and focused on personal growth, adds another dimension to the release. Even her exploration of harp during this period reflects a willingness to step outside familiar creative territory.
“Myself(s)” therefore feels less like a simple re-release and more like an introduction to the next stage of Sephora Mars. With her visual direction, songwriting and production working together as part of a broader artistic identity, she demonstrates an instinct for creating music that feels personal while leaving room for interpretation. As new material and an upcoming EP begin to emerge, this return promises a deeper exploration of the different versions of herself that have shaped her journey. For listeners discovering Sephora Mars for the first time, “Myself(s)” offers an intriguing doorway into an artist whose story is clearly far from finished.
