Following the lead-up to the release of the Sophomore album from Sophie Grey., I noticed a theme emerge. Through the tracks “Alive,” “Eyes” and “Believe In Ghosts” singer-songwriter, and producer Sophie takes a journey through a myriad of complex situations regarding relationships and dating. Furthermore, she does this in such a cool way, through her use of thoughtful lyricism conveyed in a worldlywise and observing style. Above all Sophie is out here doing her thing as an independent artist. In brief, she isn’t interested in current music trends. However, the influences she grew up with play a part in the hybrid retro electro sound she is continually evolving.
In the “Retro Electro” album cycle, Sophie encapsulates raw emotion in her song “Alive” as she navigates the complexities of past relationships, igniting hope for reconciliation. Delving into the dark side of obsession, the music video for “Eyes” sheds light on stalker culture. In “Believe In Ghosts,” Sophie reveals the agony of being suddenly ignored in budding relationships. The culminating release of “Revenge” coincides with the launch of her sophomore album “Retro Electro,” she is marking a defiant declaration against a former love interest.
Linking up with music video director Maximilian Stafford has led to an inspired and like-minded collaborative partnership for Sophie. Together, they brainstorm unique ideas to create emotive visual aesthetics, exuding an organic VHS quality that resonates with Sophie’s 80s retro vibe. The music video portrays Sophie, emotionally bruised after a breakup, contemplating seeking revenge. Furthermore, she passionately expresses, “It’s not fair to sit by. I deserve to speak my mind. We’re not friends, you let it horribly end. It’s not fair to pretend. You deserve the revenge.”
In conclusion. Noticeably in the album “Retro Electro” her unwavering dedication to creating music she genuinely loves shines through. Dive in for a listen now! But especially so, if you appreciate the allure and distinctiveness she brings to her craft through the latest focus single “Revenge.”
