Stephen Wrabel (who goes simply by Wrabel as his creative moniker) has made a career out of connection. Be it A-level artists with the brilliant songs he has penned or directly with fans through his heart-on-his-sleeve vulnerability, Wrabel’s impact is something massive felt by both industry peers and listening audiences alike. Wrabel’s album, based on a true story is a journey through our shared emotions. His new songs arrive as a trio of releases that come together to form based on a true story, a concept album. “This record is a step towards what I want to do next,” he notes. Think of this sonic compendium as diary entries grouped into chapters: one chapter for Wrabel himself (chapter of me); one chapter for “you,” written to help inspire friends to pull through difficult times (chapter of you); and the complete diary that ties it all together (the full-length album based on a true story). Ultimately, they are united by his search for finding kinship in humanity.
