Glad this is a posthumous release that's being handled respectfully and appropriately by the right folks. Having new SOPHIE in 2024 is a fever dream.
I feel so incredibly privileged to have seen SOPHIE live twice back in 2015-2016, her music was a major catalyst for helping me realize I'm not cis, even before she came out as trans. Nobody was pushing the boundaries of music like SOPHIE was and I think her death is the most profound loss to music and art of the 21st century, so it's great to hear that her previously unreleased music will live on and continue to reach more people.
PS I hope it's okay to use she/her pronouns for SOPHIE, I know there was some confusion about this after her death because she kept her personal life private but SOPHIE's family is using she/her so that's why I am too
Seeing SOPHIE live was insane. There was like a cage of women crawling over each other and making out behind her. A singer just started stripping onstage as she belted out some heavenly shit. SOPHIE hovered over it all like some deity blasting us with divine bass. I was the only cis person for miles it felt like. One of the greatest sets I've ever been to.
Ahh that's so cool that you got to see her live (twice holy shit). I completely agree that it was so detrimental to have lost her so early. Her music gave me a lot of comfort when I struggled with dysphoria and sadness over it
yeah it was really amazing, those shows were DJ sets and I'm very sad I never saw her during the OOEPUI tour which was more of a full performance but I'm still very grateful that I had the chance to see her at all
the first time was a show with A. G. Cook and QT. SOPHIE played L.O.V.E. which was unreleased so I had no idea what was happening. that song is cool on headphones but hearing, or rather feeling it on big club speakers was a transformative experience, having those vibrations wash over your entire body is indescribable, I'll always treasure that memory
the second show was probably even better because it was in a smaller room but everyone there was going absolutely crazy and it's where I heard some of the Charli XCX collabs for the first time
actually I just realized it was 3 times that I saw SOPHIE but now I'm just bragging
