“Sophie didn’t often talk about her personal life publicly, choosing instead to express herself through her music,” said a statement from Transgressive Records. “We believe it’s fitting to share the music she intended to release, allowing her to connect with the world in the way she loved most.”

The new album, which was nearly completed at the time of SOPHIE‘s death in 2021, was developed with her close collaborators. Benny Long, her studio manager and close friend, has overseen the final touches. The album promises to showcase SOPHIE’s unique sound and artistic vision.

The lead single from the album, “Reason Why”, features Kim Petras and BC Kingdom. The track combines SOPHIE’s distinctive production with melodic dance-pop and engaging vocal hooks, focusing on themes of individuality and resilience. The collaboration highlights SOPHIE’s talent for blending genres and creating impactful music.

New social media accounts under the username MSMSMSM FOREVER have appeared, maintaining SOPHIE’s digital presence and keeping fans engaged as the album release approaches. This move helps build anticipation and keeps her community connected.

Following her influential 2018 album, OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES, this self-titled LP represents the final chapter in SOPHIE’s musical legacy. It traces a journey from mysterious beginnings, through the intensity of club life, to a state of euphoria.

“Sophie poured everything into her music,” the Transgressive statement added. “Her spirit is present in these tracks.” This reflects the deep connection SOPHIE had with her work and the lasting impact she continues to have.

Scheduled for release on September 27th, 2024, SOPHIE’s posthumous album is one of the most anticipated music events of the year. It stands as a tribute to her extraordinary talent and a celebration of her significant influence on the electronic music scene. Fans and new listeners alike are eager to hear the album and experience the world SOPHIE created through her music.
