Experimental pop artist Sophie’s family has announced the upcoming release of a final, posthumous album, drawing from material she had almost completed before her tragic death three years ago. The album, lovingly finalized by Sophie’s closest collaborators, including her brother Ben Long, will showcase her unique and groundbreaking sound.
Sophie, who tragically passed away at the age of 34 in an accidental fall in Athens, Greece, was known for pushing the boundaries of pop music with her innovative production style. Her impact on the music industry was profound, with collaborations with artists like Madonna, Diplo, and Charli XCX.
The new self-titled album will feature Sophie’s most cherished collaborators and will be her final release. Alongside the announcement, the family released the first single, “Reason Why,” featuring guest vocals from Kim Petras and BC Kingdom.
Sophie’s influence on pop music continues to be felt, with artists like St Vincent, Caroline Polacheck, and Charli XCX paying tribute to her groundbreaking work. The upcoming album is a testament to Sophie’s dedication to her craft and her desire to challenge the conventions of pop music.
In a statement, Sophie’s family expressed their belief that sharing her music with the world is a way to connect with her in the form she loved most. The album is a fitting tribute to an artist who gave all of herself to her music and will continue to inspire listeners for years to come.
