Six years after her landmark debut album, and three years after her tragic death, SOPHIE's triumphant legacy is crystallised in her long awaited selftitled second album. It's far from an exaggeration to say SOPHIE's inimitable approach to sound design and constructing dance pop smash hits has revolutionised modern music, and with this album close to completion before her passing, we get an exciting glimpse of evolution from an artist who revitalised the electronic landscape. The fan favourite lead single ‘Reason Why’ is full of liquid laser stabs and hyperphysical percussive synth melodies, moulded into an endlessly catchy, slinky pop anthem.
SOPHIE forever.
