Description
SOFI DE LA TORRE‘the Spanish singer/songwriter that you really should know about already’ – i-DThe Canary Islands are better known for package holidays than sultry pop, but Sofi de la Torre is well on her way to changing that. Following the release of her ‘Mess’ EP last year, featuring tracks such as stream-of-consciousness smooth summer jam ‘19 in Mexico’ and ‘London x Paris’ - which saw a spin from Jaden Smith on his Beats 1 show - Sofi’s return is marked by a sassy new sound with a new release coming up in June. Globe-trotting between the Canary Islands, London, LA and Helsinki, the Berlin-based artist’s style touches on a range of influences, with electronic beats and a subtle Scandi-pop inclination inspired by her ongoing collaboration with Finnish producer Jonas Karlsson. It’s clear by now that Sofi doesn’t release the same thing twice: each new track is a fresh, innovative approach that still manages to sit perfectly within the walls of her signature #popdoneright sound – a hashtag which spearheads her vivacious online presence. Chosen to encapsulate a style which Sofi remarks is neither “full on pop or indie pop…"pop done right" is what came to my mind because it has R&B influences”, Driven by a crystal clear vision, de la Torre is involved in every part of the creative process, from press shots to social media - bringing a crucial DIY aesthetic both to her unique brand of pop and her status as an independent artist as a whole. With celebrity fans including Grimes and Paramore’s lead singer Hayley Williams, and support from publications including The Guardian, Noisey Billboard, and Nylon, Sofi de la Torre showcases a commendable ability and commitment to developing her sound. Despite being approached by a number of major labels over the past few months, it’s clear that her priorities lie just one way: staying true to her ‘pop done right’ philosophy, and to herself.
