Sophie is the upcoming second and final[2] studio album by Scottish recording artist and producer Sophie. It will be posthumously released on 27 September 2024.
Background
[edit]After Sophie's unexpected death in 2021, plans of releasing unpublished works were discussed. In June 2021, Sophie's brother considered the possibility of a posthumous release of the planned "pop record" follow-up to Sophie's debut album that was already near completion.[3]
Three years later on 21 June 2024, Sophie's YouTube channel and a new social media account titled "@msmsmsm_forever" uploaded a series of videos and posts teasing an announcement on 24 June 2024.[4][5] When the teased date arrived, the lead single from the album, "Reason Why", featuring Kim Petras and BC Kingdom, was released alongside an announcement of the posthumous self-titled album to be released in September that year.[6]
On Instagram, Sophie's family posted a statement regarding the album.[7][8]
When we, Sophie's family, took our first steps towards bringing this project to fruition we contacted the dear friends with whom she envisioned the album. We wrote, "We have been finding comfort in the music Sophie left us, it is a gift that we truly cherish as we try to find a way forward, with Sophie forever at the center of our worlds." Sophie didn't often speak publicly of her private life, preferring to put everything she wanted to articulate in her music. It feels only right to share with the world the music she hoped to release, in the belief that we can all connect with her in this, the form she loved most. Sophie gave all of herself to her music. It's here that she can always be found.
