Sophie – Sophie (2xLP)

Almost three years exactly since SOPHIE Xeon's brother revealed his plans to begin work on the first posthumous project compiling the late Scottish producer's unparalleled work, the self-titled SOPHIE album was announced via Transgressive and Future Classics - two labels that SOPHIE worked with to release 2018's grammy-nominated Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides. The 2LP has been constructed and mastered by her "most cherished collaborators" and containes an album of tracks that were "near completion" according to the family. Xeon made waves in the music scene following her PRODUCT series, a completely fresh and unique style of irreplaceable production rich with wet bass and handcrafted synths that has influenced everyone from Flume, Arca, Madonna and FKA Twigs. 'Reason Why', the lead single, is a perfect example of the vision for pop music SOPHIE had - bubbly, polished to a mirror sheen and infectiously danceable.
