I’ve been meaning to give SOPHIE and this album, in particular, a listen for a while now, and sadly I’m arriving at the party under rather heart-breaking circumstances. the experimental and revolutionary artist/producer tragically passed on january 30th 2020. while sophie was rather mysterious and reclusive in identity for a long time, this album was sophie’s debut as a solo artist in 2018, but sophie’s legacy lives on in the music of so many others, charlie xcx, vince staples, kim petras, madonna. not only was sophie an unmatched original, the artist broke boundaries for the trans community through music, grammy nominations, and so much more. i can’t wait to learn more about sophie and keep the art alive through her brilliance.
