Failure

I’m inspired by a lot of lofi/slacker type music along with Talking Heads and hip-hop and I guess that comes out here. The song is built around a lofi groove with a hint of G-funk in its DNA, along with perhaps the laziest guitar solo in rock and roll history. 

This track is a fruition of the last few moon’s labour of love. One means of expression I’ve sporadically been pruning and pondering and pruning and pouring a lot of love and frustration into. So, please, soak up the grooves and I hope you enjoy.

Freaky

'Body on the Inside' pairs Sophie’s love for classic rock with modern pop sounds. With a sonic fusion of Boygenius’s emotional depth and the confrontational grit of Patti Smith, this thought-provoking songwriter has the gusto of a true rock singer. That added with the anthemic guitars and a highly addictive chorus all reinforce her ability to ask uncomfortable questions in the quest for empowerment.

Sophie explains: ‘Body on the Inside’ is me taking back control of my body. I refuse to let society tell me how others see and touch it. I hope the song empowers people to say no to things they don’t want to do and encourages them to take back their bodies”.

Nothing Left

'The Ground' is a reflective song about moving on from a past relationship, whilst wishing that person all the best. The song came from a drum groove, which was later adapted for more of modern jazz feel. Next came the main guitar chords, with the melody/lyrics added shortly after. The spoken word/rap sections bring an exciting and energetic feel to the song, whilst giving more context to the song. The middle section opens out to intertwining violins and lush guitars, sailing the song to a reminiscent ending. FFO Gogo Penguin, Fink, The Cinematic Orchestra, Alfa Mist.

Embers

'Under the Heat' is the final track on the My Room Made Public EP. It was inspired by the 'Be A Lady They Said' video by Paul McLean . The song is wrapped around female pressures to be a certain way and the hypocrisy within that. The personal touch stems from Sophie's frustration of not being heard or listened to as a woman and as an artist and her finding strength and resilience to speak out over the egos in the room.
