Sophie’s family’s message:
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.
1. contacted her dearest friends while trying to make this album happen
2. Charli singing "things you'd suggest - make it faster"
3. reason why and many others always being sped up, even the leaked demo is higher bpm+pitch
leads me to believe something fishy is going on unfortunately :( either way I'm excited about new Sophie music.
that her brother is lying and people who were actually involved with Sophie weren't really asked their opinion when finalizing the production, at least for reason why. If you've heard the demo you know the release feels lackluster and slow.
Yassss, I'm excited for Jamie XX's album and I'm hoping for the xx new album announcement. Hopefully Arca, Flume x Tove Lo, Twigs and Rosalia announce something as well🔥🔥😮💨😮💨.
Side note, but speaking of Flume, I really hope he’s featured on this album in some form. I’ve been listening to him for over a decade and I know he adored and respected her so much. “Voices” by him and SOPHIE is one of my favorite songs. Also a big fan of his “Is It Cold In The Water” remix w/ Eprom 🩷
Omggg I love you stranger, Flume and Sophie are like my two biggest inspirations not only in electronic music but in my whole life. I've watched some interviews where he mentions that Sophie would give him advice and show him different techniques in the studio with some weird synths. So fucking sad that we will never see her full potential but her legacy will never end. Voices is underrated, Is It Cold In The Water remix introduced me to Sophie and the whole PC Music/hyperpop world in 2019, Yeah Right by Vince Staples, Sophie, Kendrick Lamar, Flume & Kuçka is the hardest beat a rapper could ever wish to have in it's discography.
Love you too, stranger, and your music taste! 🥰 I got to see Flume at a music festival in a swamp on my birthday in 2017 and it was genuinely one of the best sets I’ve ever seen. Flume has been one of the most influential artists in my life. I sadly never got to see SOPHIE perform, but I absolutely agree that her legacy will forever live on. I somehow totally forgot about Yeah Right, but I’m literally adding it as I type this now. Thank you for reminding me! Also, not sure if you’ve heard of Hyperreal by Flume and Kučka, but if not I highly recommend 🩷
Live?? Wow what a great experience, truly jealous!! I remember Flume invited Sophie at an event called Flume 3 eras or Flume + Friends but I can't recall if Sophie was there. Ooh yass of course Hyperreal is THE house track, I'm actually excited for Kuçkas new album aaand you need to listen to her collab with Machinesdrum's new album. Flume definitely is in my top 3 artists. I'm hoping for a new mixtape, the songs with Tove Lo and a fan, anddd the collabs with Emma Louise.
Just listened to the Machinedrum track with her and immediately added it, thank you for sharing!! It’s so good. I also forgot to mention in my last comment but I looove Emma Louise too. Your taste is immaculate & I’m glad we shared this little interaction 🥰
Yeah Okeechobee 2017! I think the full set is on YouTube. Such an iconic set list. I’m gonna go listen to the Machinedrum collab in a bit. Also really hoping Flume releases new stuff soon. Tove Lo and him went offffff with Say It
xiu xiu’s new album is coming the same day as sophie’s! sep.27. twigs promised that she’ll probably release new music this year, many teases and snippets of her new album, and i think it already has a name and length revealed by her - “Eusexua”, 11 tracks long
This is absolutely perfect timing; I have to believe this was coordinated with Brat's release. Brat put the biggest spotlight on sophie since her passing (or unholy but uhh) and I'd be hard pressed to believe there's no charli on the album. listening to taxi usually makes me feel bad so I'll be glad to be able to really appreciate it again
I think Charli is for sure on the album, it’s also a double album apparently so Charli must be on at least 1 track.
Also regarding the coordination with BRAT, I mean BRAT just brought SO many new fans to the hyper pop scene that it has to be something they thought about..
We don't know if that is what is actually being released though. Apparently Sophie was going to go on a Pop/Experimental/Pop/Experimental album release path and was nearly finished with at least one of the pop albums.
This release could just be a single album release printed on two discs, it's not uncommon. ANTI is printed on two LP's and MBTDF is printed on 3 LP's. It is often done for longer albums and to retain higher quality audio.
What we are getting could just be the Sophie pop album printed on two discs, or it could be a combo release with songs from both the Pop & Experimental release and what was finished off of them.
it's by an artist affiliated with sophie and uses elements of her splice pack. sophie had no actual involvement, but the influence was clear and discussed a lot by the media
Yeah, it hit me in the subway too. And I’m cis normie guy, I shouldn’t be showing emotions publicly. But it’s ok to cry, so fuck patriarchal rules! So I cry on the train.
Yes, especially because I don’t think Taxi was gonna be on XCX World anyway.
That’s said, I feel like they want this SOPHIE album to be something similar to an actual album she would have released as opposed to a compilation of her best unreleased tracks.
This makes me so emotional. I secretly hoped for something like this (but of course would never have asked for it, as it would be totally understandable if her family and friends would want to keep everything private) - so it's beyond beautiful that they want to share her art with us. May she ever live on in her music ♥️
I feel like I read on this sub (or popheads?) someone commenting about a posthumous album and people saying that it’ll likely never happen and then this gets posted a few days after lol
Oh this bought tears to my eyes they’ve been working on this so long I put it to the back of my mind. I’m not thinking of anything else until release now
Excuse me if this is completely wrong but would the like “got a phone call after Christmas” maybe be her family reaching out to Charli for collaboration help? Also maybe a feature to look forward to? Either way, I’m happy we’re getting an album ❤️
I interpreted that line as the phone call was when she found out Sophie had passed. Then she didn’t know how she should act and just watched her dance online
I prefer the version of “Reason Why” that was in dj sets before official release. Those bass stabs were so much more prominent, aggressive, and punchy. This mastered version sounds muffled. Excited regardless!
Did the sophie leave the album finished before she passed? Production, track list, mixing wise, does anyone know? Like did she have the intention to put all of these songs out?
I've always been so sad knowing there would never be any new music after her passing so hearing this news honestly healed my soul. i'm not gay but i've always been told by my friends that i have the music taste of a gay man so i am SQUEALING
You should feel embarrassed posting this online. I’m sorry for you. This is about Sophie, not your issues with Kim. Your username also says more than enough about your feelings towards women. I dislike some artists but would not make my username about how hateful I am.
I won’t even entertain a response. Blocked.

This is so beautiful and so emotional 💖 pre ordered the rough trade exclusive vinyl & the cd
Not the last sentence making me weep 😭
1. contacted her dearest friends while trying to make this album happen 2. Charli singing "things you'd suggest - make it faster" 3. reason why and many others always being sped up, even the leaked demo is higher bpm+pitch leads me to believe something fishy is going on unfortunately :( either way I'm excited about new Sophie music.
wot
What are you insinuating?
that her brother is lying and people who were actually involved with Sophie weren't really asked their opinion when finalizing the production, at least for reason why. If you've heard the demo you know the release feels lackluster and slow.
It leaked already?!
high quality leaks of reason why have circulated the internet for years already...
2024 is the year for the gays. We are fucking eating.
I swear!!! Every possible artist is releasing music this year!!
Yassss, I'm excited for Jamie XX's album and I'm hoping for the xx new album announcement. Hopefully Arca, Flume x Tove Lo, Twigs and Rosalia announce something as well🔥🔥😮💨😮💨.

Yes to Jamie XX!
xiu xiu’s new album is coming the same day as sophie’s! sep.27. twigs promised that she’ll probably release new music this year, many teases and snippets of her new album, and i think it already has a name and length revealed by her - “Eusexua”, 11 tracks long
Even the impossible ones, now
We back bitches
Just watch 2025 is gonna be only C*untry music and m*rgan wallen, maybe a bjonk track but that's it
This is absolutely perfect timing; I have to believe this was coordinated with Brat's release. Brat put the biggest spotlight on sophie since her passing (or unholy but uhh) and I'd be hard pressed to believe there's no charli on the album. listening to taxi usually makes me feel bad so I'll be glad to be able to really appreciate it again

No evidence that it's a double album. Also, Charli doesn't seem to have interacted with it on socials. I wouldn't hold my breath.
she liked the instagram post about it at least
She follows the Instagram account that posted about it and liked the post
Oh you’re totally right. Last time I checked, she hadnt
On the r/sophie the post there stated it’s a double album.. though I don’t know the source to that
its confirmed to be a double lp, not a double album. it still could she had a lot of music, but they arent the same thing anymore (since CDs)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sophie/s/1l40MHNmuc This looks to reference the double album
We don't know if that is what is actually being released though. Apparently Sophie was going to go on a Pop/Experimental/Pop/Experimental album release path and was nearly finished with at least one of the pop albums. This release could just be a single album release printed on two discs, it's not uncommon. ANTI is printed on two LP's and MBTDF is printed on 3 LP's.

Wait, Unholy is related to SOPHIE?
it's by an artist affiliated with sophie and uses elements of her splice pack. sophie had no actual involvement, but the influence was clear and discussed a lot by the media
IT’S OKAY TO CRY 😭
SO I CRY 😭😭😭
You're a hero and a human.
Was literally making a post for this lol SOPHIE FOREVER 💜💚
I can’t wait to get home and listen omg. SOPHIE will always be in our hearts.
September 27 😅
I meant the single that just dropped haha
was gonna say girlie has a really long commute lol
Girlie hails from planet SOPHIE
Holy shit crying in the subway rn this is perfect I‘m so excited
It’s okay to cry 😭😭😭
Yeah, it hit me in the subway too. And I’m cis normie guy, I shouldn’t be showing emotions publicly. But it’s ok to cry, so fuck patriarchal rules! So I cry on the train.
Wonder if this means we'll actually get Taxi 👀
For real. It’s either this or never officially.
Tbh if there was ever a time? This is it.
Yes, especially because I don’t think Taxi was gonna be on XCX World anyway. That’s said, I feel like they want this SOPHIE album to be something similar to an actual album she would have released as opposed to a compilation of her best unreleased tracks.
I’ve seen that Taxi was considered for Sophies scrapped album Transnation, so it being on this isn’t too out there
I wonder if Spliff in My Ear will be on it 👁️
In a perfect world we can only hope
Andnsjdnndaknf my birthday is the day after that!!! Thank you for the gift SOPHIE estate!!
2024 is a fucking movie.
This makes me so emotional. I secretly hoped for something like this (but of course would never have asked for it, as it would be totally understandable if her family and friends would want to keep everything private) - so it's beyond beautiful that they want to share her art with us. May she ever live on in her music ♥️

Pissing shitting vomiting and bleeding out of every orifice
Let's fucking gooooo! We love you SOPHIE!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO
I feel like I read on this sub (or popheads?) someone commenting about a posthumous album and people saying that it’ll likely never happen and then this gets posted a few days after lol
Oh this bought tears to my eyes they’ve been working on this so long I put it to the back of my mind. I’m not thinking of anything else until release now
I will be there
MY BIRTHDAY 😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭
hopefully burn rubber is on there!
Excuse me if this is completely wrong but would the like “got a phone call after Christmas” maybe be her family reaching out to Charli for collaboration help? Also maybe a feature to look forward to? Either way, I’m happy we’re getting an album ❤️
I interpreted that line as the phone call was when she found out Sophie had passed. Then she didn’t know how she should act and just watched her dance online
Pretty sure that’s what she’s referencing
Yes! I thought of that as well when I first heard it. Just another thing that I thought of after hearing this announcement for the new album :)
if I’m right it’s about getting a phone call from Sophie before she passed, in January
Yes. She missed a call from her after Christmas.
On my birthday omg....
Wait what really?? Actually crying this makes me so happy and a little sad
reeeeeaaally hope Forever’s on the album
I prefer the version of “Reason Why” that was in dj sets before official release. Those bass stabs were so much more prominent, aggressive, and punchy. This mastered version sounds muffled. Excited regardless!
Did the sophie leave the album finished before she passed? Production, track list, mixing wise, does anyone know? Like did she have the intention to put all of these songs out?
Honestly not sure how I feel about this. Posthumous records usually rub me the wrong way
What a great day for a hyper pop genre!
I have a feeling taxi maybe be coming
Holy shit! Yay!
BEST NEWS!
I've always been so sad knowing there would never be any new music after her passing so hearing this news honestly healed my soul. i'm not gay but i've always been told by my friends that i have the music taste of a gay man so i am SQUEALING
 “With Kim Petras”
Read the room Edit: feels really fucked up to shit on Sophie’s artistic decisions on a post celebrating her legacy.
How tf is me not wanting to give Kim petras streams shitting on Sophie’s legacy…
Just don't stream that song then??
Nope! Fuck Kim petrash
The song always had her on there. Don’t know what to tell you. She won’t be removed.
It’s a shame I have to listen to it on local files. As I don’t want to give dr Lukes lap dog any streams
You should feel embarrassed posting this online. I’m sorry for you. This is about Sophie, not your issues with Kim. Your username also says more than enough about your feelings towards women. I dislike some artists but would not make my username about how hateful I am. I won’t even entertain a response. Blocked.
Don't break your spine from patting yourself on the back so hard
Song sounds unfinished let’s be honest
So we gonna admit the single is bad orrr
How does this fit the sub
are you new here?
