‘SOPHIE’ Posthumous LP Honors Legacy of the Trailblazing Artist

‘SOPHIE’ Posthumous LP Honors Legacy of the Trailblazing Artist

As someone who has been dancing to the beats of SOPHIE for years, I can confidently say that her music was not just a soundtrack to my life, but a revolution. Three years since her untimely departure, the release of this posthumous album feels like a cosmic gift from the heavens.


As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but acknowledge the profound impact SOPHIE has had on music. Her fingerprints are all over the productions she worked on alongside artists such as Madonna, Charli XCX, Vince Staples, and Arca. Yet, her influence extends beyond these collaborations, as evidenced by her critically acclaimed independent work like the Grammy-nominated “OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES.

Soft, atmospheric tunes featuring echoing synthesizers and spoken phrases provide a soothing backdrop to the harsh, industrial clashes and heavy bass beats found in her innovative club numbers. The juxtaposition between deeply-feeling ambient pieces and avant-garde techno pop creations reflects SOPHIE’s groundbreaking approach to music.

Tracks such as “Punging Asymptote (with Juliana Huxtable)” demonstrate the highly synthesized and amplified sound characteristics that define SOPHIE’s music production. “The Dome’s Protection (with Nina Kravis)” offers a minimalist approach, featuring only atmospheric synths and the ethereal guidance of Kravis’ voice. In “Reason Why (featuring Kim Petras and BC Kingdom)”, listeners can appreciate SOPHIE’s love for catchy synth-pop beats.

This self-named album challenges traditional roles by putting SOPHIE at the forefront as the creator of her unique soundscape. It remains unclear if we’ll receive additional work from this deceased artist, but their influence continues through their music and profound mark they left on the music industry.

SOPHIE is available everywhere now. Listen to the full project below.
