The first official single of the indie-pop group Steff and the Articles is “Love You Better.” After a long break, the group is back in action and this is pleasing. Written during the recovery of vocalist Steff Koeppen, the song conveys the bittersweet beauty of cherishing someone and choosing a healthier, more sustainable path forward. Warm, emotional and large-scale, “Love You Better” combines gentle storytelling with the band’s signature piano sound.

The group Steff and the Articles continues to perform together in various lineups and are currently recording new music for an upcoming release.
