Hailing from the northeast, indie rock sensation Sarah Johnsone unveils her latest jewel, Sofia, under the Quiet Crown banner. Her vocals, reminiscent of an enchanting fusion between Amy Winehouse’s allure, Siouxsie’s mystique, and Blondie’s Debbie Harry, adorn this musical gem. A gem of indie rock, Sofia time-travels to the impeccable 80s new wave, infusing it with the vibrant energy and fervor akin to 90s alternative rock. It’s a sonic treasure trove, a melodic narrative that seamlessly bridges eras, and a testament to Sarah’s multifaceted artistry. In a world craving musical authenticity, this is indeed a treasure trove of excellence.
Sarah says, “‘Sofia’ is my indie rock, party track; she’s fun, she’s exciting, she’s unpredictable. Sofia represents many who are misunderstood by the male social structures around them, frequently feeling bored and dismayed in pursuit of romance. This track was one of the first I’ve written from a third person, storytelling perspective. It bore a story of the misunderstood and perennially addictive ‘cool’ girl, and the cookie cutter male chasers that can’t seem to get enough. The song flicks between a ‘beammeupsoftboi’ style account of the male fumbling attempt of seduction, and Sofia’s contempt for them.”
