With the frantic proclamation of “whole new world,” the track gives way to a symphony of electronic punches, whips, and growls. While there’s no denying that "Ponyboy" and "Faceshopping" are iconic, SOPHIE really gives their all in the final track of their breakout album.
It quickly switches to ethereal vocals, and then the beat becomes consuming once more. It starts with heavy bass-filled punches that are quickly accompanied by Arca chanting “ menéalo” sixty times. When Arca proposed to SOPHIE they work together, she said she wanted the track to be "a sense of chaos and very rhythmic"-and that’s exactly what “La Chíqui” is. It’s a case of an artist willing to rework their art, and a fantastic display of how in tune SOPHIE was with every inch of their craft. This rendition of the track is heavy and fast-paced, perfect for mindless dancing and letting the music take control of your body. The stand out track is “Not Okay - Alone Mix,” which takes the basics from the SOPHIE track “Not Okay” and warps it into a pulsing showcase of electronic warfare. What could have been small or slight was anything but, with SOPHIE proving to have multiple ideas for each song previously showcased on the breakout solo album. In 2019, SOPHIE released a remixed version of OIL OF EVERY PEARLS UN-INSIDES. When Let’s Eat Grandma is singing, the song feels whimsical-but once SOPHIE unleashes their production, you know these girls aren’t messing around. It’s a perfect example of an artist adding their distinct vibe to a track without overshadowing the actual artist. When the track’s breakdown comes, SOPHIE’s signature production infiltrates the song, metallic claps giving way to an explosion of industrial sounds. This song is about "how femininity is seen as inferior, when it shouldn't be," and the lyrics play with ideals of femininity and masculinity. It’s a sonically disorienting song, and one that perfectly displays the work that Charli and SOPHIE continued to make together.Ģ017 saw SOPHIE releasing the now Grammy-nominated album OIL OF EVERY PEARLS UN-INSIDES, but that didn’t stop the artist from producing tracks for others.
As Charli taunts “bitch, I'm here to fuck you up / wanna make your bottle pop,” alarm bells whirl in the background. “Trophy” begins with a sample of a classic Pulp Fiction scene which quickly turns into a cacophony of girlish screams exclaiming “throw it up,” SOPHIE’s now iconic metallic sound gives way to samples of dogs barking.

But, in distinct SOPHIE fashion, you’re not meant to get too comfortable, and the incessant pace comes back before the song finishes altogether.įans of the record label PC Music and the hyperpop genre alike know "Vroom Vroom," but a track that seems to be forgotten from Charli XCX’s Vroom Vroom EP is “Trophy.” The whole EP is produced by SOPHIE, but this is the song that really got listeners into SOPHIE’s work. Just as you’re about to careen, the track slows down and allows you to breathe again. It feels like a warped vision of a Mario Kart track race tune, spiraling until you lose control of the wheel. The electronics go deeper, then higher and higher. Then, fifteen seconds in, SOPHIE lets the electronics take over, clashing against metals-sounds that fans would soon fondly compare to pots and pans. Two years after SOPHIE’s breakout came the feverish “MSMSMSM.” The intro, a harsh whirring, serves as some kind of warning, bracing the listener for what’s to come. Here are ten essential tracks everyone should listen to. With the artist's recent and tragic de ath, it’s important to showcase the talent that the artist brought to many of our lives. With beats unlike anything that was coming out at the time, the industry and fans alike watched as SOPHIE unearthed something truly profound: a genre filled with indescribable sound and an inimitable talent. The artist came onto the scene in 2013 with the energetic "Nothing More to Say/Eeehhh," and since then SOPHIE has had a hand in creating the sweeping genre known as hyperpop. Alien, mind-bending, out of this world-those are just some of the ways to describe the music and artistry of SOPHIE.
