The late artist SOPHIE has released a second posthumous single, ‘One More Time’ featuring Popstar, from her upcoming album, due on September 27th. The album will be the artist’s second and final studio album. ‘One More Time’ was released shortly after ‘Berlin Nightmare,’ which featured Evita Manji. The visualizer for the single is a dark and surreal accompaniment that perfectly highlights the atmospheric feeling of the song.
The artist’s family described the album as an encapsulation of Sophie’s musical journey, a combination of skills and creative visions beyond time and genre. The statement also emphasized SOPHIE’s sound, which moved at an emotional level, enticing fans with light and dark themes that encouraged intuitive acceptance. The artist’s work played with sound and material to create a dimension that was both mysterious and euphoric, emphasizing life’s contradictory nature. For SOPHIE, her music was her life, and in her passing, it is where she would forever be found.
SOPHIE passed away in January 2021, aged 34, in Athens, Greece. She became famous as part of the PC Music pop production team in the mid-2010s, collaborating with artists such as Charli XCX and A.G. Cook. Charli XCX paid tribute to SOPHIE on her recent album, ‘Brat,’ with the track ‘So I,’ in which she expressed her regret about not collaborating closely with SOPHIE. On the other hand, Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, wrote the track ‘Sweetest Fruit’ in homage to SOPHIE after reading about her tragic death.
Finally, ‘SOPHIE’ will follow on from the critically acclaimed ‘Oil Of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides’ released in 2018. The 2018 album was praised for its ability to cross the boundaries of pop music and move fans emotionally, creating an abstract electronic music experience that appealed to the heart.
