Having a 6 minute drone track in the middle of this is such a bold choice, but I fucking love it because it's still so very SOPHIE.
So many incredible albums over the past year or so dealing with gender, sexuality, the body. Arca, Perfume Genius, serpentwithfeet, Fever Ray, now this. These albums all so important and mean so much to me, but this album is already making the most significant impact. I am so happy SOPHIE has finally released such a grand statement.
Happy to see my favorite track get that good love “Is It Cold in the Water?” by SOPHIE Review | Pitchfork
Ya'll should find this pretty interesting “Pretending” was made from a song I wrote called “Pretending,” which was a full song with lyrics and vocals and everything. And then I just thought it was a bit too literal. When I really manipulated it and extended it, I felt it kept the sentiment of the song without being so literal. I suppose that’s what I try to do, generally speaking. https://themuse.jezebel.com/sophie-on-her-new-album-old-disco-and-expressing-tran-1826863700
