Born in the United States and raised across Europe, Sofia Lafuente turned to music at an early age as a form of escapism from her trans-continental upbringing. Driven by reverbed drums, beautifully understated pop melodies and orchestral flourishes, her music looks outside the confines of alternative pop with its dense, atmospheric production. “We wanted to create textures and moments in the song where it really felt like you were going through some sort of epic emotional energy,” Sofia says of her darkest track to date, ‘Here Again’. “I hope what comes across in my songs is the ability to be vulnerable, and to see that as a power.”
