The Swedish singer-songwriter is a big deal behind-the-scenes. She’s well known for writing Billboard #1’s for other artists alongside her publisher Max Martin. Having gone under secret names, Sophia has been stepping out of the shadows releasing her own material which has won over music sites including Line of Best Fit, Popjustice and Pigeon and Planes.

Having released two album, the approach to the new record is different. Known for writing, recording, and producing her own music, it’s the first time she brought in outside producers including Patrik Berger (Lana Del Rey), Tobias Jimson, and Michel Flygare (Tove Lo). Regardless, she wrote all the melodies, lyrics and recorded her vocals in her safe place – the bedroom, and these new set of songs could propel her to a household name.
