Ahead of the release of Sophie’s self-titled album this September, the late avant-pop producer’s family has shared two more songs from the posthumous LP.
The two new tracks are “One More Time” featuring Popstar and the electro-pop instrumental “Berlin Nightmare,” a collaboration with Evita Manji.
Sophie’s family previously shared “Reason Why” with Kim Petras and BC Kingdom from the eponymous album, due out September 27 via Trangressive and Future Classic.
“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,” Sophie’s family said in a statement when the posthumous LP was announced in June. “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,” the family added. “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.”
The Scottish-born star died tragically in January 2021 after accidentally slipping and falling while watching the full moon in Athens, Greece. Several months after her death, her brother Ben Long told Billboard that there were “literally hundreds of tracks” in the vault, but that he wanted to “do right by Sophie” in releasing what she would have wanted.
