SOPHIE - Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides

Though structurally jarring, SOPHIE's full-length debut is an unforgettable and potentially DNA-altering pop album.

SOPHIE - "It's Okay to Cry"

SOPHIE has returned with a single that's quite unlike the bubblegum bass bangers that put her on the map. "It's Okay to Cry" is instead an emotional, slow-burning art pop ballad that shows off the artist's tender side. Fittingly, the song comes with a video wherein the elusive producer reveals herself.

Lunice - "Drop Down" ft. Le1f

This past week, Quebecois trap and wonky producer Lunice put out his debut album CCCLX via LuckyMe Records. "Drop Down," the last of the teaser tracks, is certainly a highlight thanks to quirky and fun contributions from rapper Le1f and co-producers SOPHIE and S-Type. Listen above and enjoy!

Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom

Charli XCX and PC Music's SOPHIE team up for an awesome EP.

Charli XCX - "Paradise" ft. Hannah Diamond

A very PC Music cut from Charli XCX's new EP Vroom Vroom, out now via her newly established label Vroom Vroom Recordings.

SOPHIE - Product

SOPHIE compiles her biggest singles from the past year or so into one sharp comp!

SOPHIE - L.O.V.E.

Bubblegum bass producer SOPHIE gets a tad noisy here on "L.O.V.E.," a single from Product (which for all intents and purposes is a butt plug), out November 27 via Numbers. I swear this track samples the shrieking wraiths from NES Ghosts n' Goblins.

SOPHIE - "LEMONADE" / "HARD"

Pure insanity coming from these two major tracks from anonymous producer SOPHIE, and both of these songs are out now via Numbers.

Between all the vaporwave and trap out floating around the Internet right now, there's no shortage of zany electronic music at the moment. SOPHIE seems to embrace a lot of the tenants of TNGHT, Rustie, and post-modernists such as Daniel Lopatin; however, these sensibilities are unabashedly fused with commercial pop, a flavor that reads strongest in the often squeakily pitched melodies and lead vocals. There's just something about the melodic shift at 0:39 that sounds like Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." Someone on Twitter went as far as to say the groove on "Hard" resembles that of a Death Grips track, and I have to nod in agreement on that comparison.

Despite the obvious present-day influences, something about SOPHIE's productions thus far feel as if they're coming from at least ten years into the future. Their energy is incredibly hyper, their accessibility is high, but there's something sort of avant-garde about these tracks as well. Maybe it's sort of short-sighted to assume that songs like "Hard" could become the norm in a decade, but I certainly get the sense that I'm catching up with something ahead of the curve when I put these beats on.
