two absolute bangers

 

This is so good.

 

Celebrating Sophie Xeon Doodle - Google Doodles

 

Sophie Died in 2021. The Album She Left Behind Is Now Complete.

‘My first impression was this person’s a genius’: the life and legacy of producer pioneer Sophie

 

Once in a lifetime artist, incredible album. Sophie forever

 

I saw on Reddit some people are getting it early… you too @yung_ting??

 

I'm indeed listening to the album right now, it's pretty cool

 

check your inbox :)

 

How does it hold up to Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides?

 

It’s different and impossible to assess in that context with her being gone but based off the singles I’d say it’s a lot weirder than you’d expect. It feels like Sophie.

 

Interesting take, I found this album to be LESS weird than I expected haha, by a lot. I think it's a good listen, but didn't blow me away. Glad that it was released though, as this finalizes the album she was working on when she passed, I'm sure her family is able to close the book on that chapter at least

 

The first and fourth track combine for twelve minutes of ambient music, I agree that it’s not super experimental but that’s hardly conventional lol

 

Sure, but I wouldn't consider it weird as it's just chill ambience

 

looking forward to it nonetheless. the number of features concerns me that it'll feel less like her own album, but I'm sure it all works.

 

definitely feels like SOPHIE and the features didn't really distract, only on a couple tracks do the features really take center stage

 

my messages are open as an unrelated note.

My Forever, absolutely gorgeous.

 

Goshhh I love Cecile Believe’s voice.

Her and SOPHIE’s sound are synonymous.

 

Album out early.

 

Already got my older son repeating “plunging asymptote”.

 

Excited to listen. Did a “discography” run earlier today and her shit is so good. Hope there’s a track like Whole New World

 

A Hannah Diamond feature?! Heck yes.

 

Listened through it once so far

I like it, but I can't help but thinking it doesn't feel as...vital as Oil, which might be incredibly unfair to say for the obvious reason of it being a posthumous release, and with how high of a bar Oil set. But I do really wonder how it might have come out had Sophie been alive through its whole process. It could very well be exactly what Sophie was going for, of course we'll never know that for sure sadly. But with the negatives out of the way, I do enjoy it and will give it future spins to see how it holds up.

 

Always and Forever, what a lovely track!
