This electronic producer and frequent Charli XCX collaborator has the air of someone who knows exactly how to make a great pop tune or dance track and wants absolutely nothing to with it. Her mind-bending debut is a nonstop rollercoaster between abrasive bangers, beautiful ambient tracks, and songs just a bit too left-field to be called “pop,” though the description doesn’t float far out of reach. You haven’t heard anything like this before, and that makes SOPHIE one of the few truly unique, trailblazing producers making waves in today’s scene. Key Tracks: “It’s Okay to Cry,” “Ponyboy,” “Immaterial”
