For much of the 2010s SOPHIE orchestrated the future sound of pop music from the sidelines. We didn’t know who was behind this hyperreal, maximalist music, but despite not being able to put a face to tracks like ‘BIPP’ and ‘LEMONADE’ these records stuck in people's minds on sound alone. And what a sound - the SOPHIE singles which were later collected on 2015’s ‘PRODUCT’ are the aural equivalent of eating too many pixie sticks, a realm of synthetic uncanniness where electronic tones shine so brightly as to become uncomfortable and percussion fizzes like bubbles in a carbonated drink.
People spent the rest of the decade trying to get a piece of the SOPHIE sound themselves - so hot was the aesthetic that SOPHIE and affiliated crew PC Music had created that production credits for Madonna, Charli XCX and Vince Staples soon came. However, SOPHIE was already streaking ahead, pushing on into brave new terrain. Her beloved 2018 LP ‘OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES’ maintains the squeak, abrasion and sugar-rush hooks of those early productions but also privileges SOPHIE’s own vocals and songcraft more than previous outings. The outcome was a masterful set of futuro-pop ballads which both verged on Kate Bush, FKA Twigs and Yves Tumor and also didn’t really sound like anything else out there
