Leicester-raised artist SOFY released Bored In Colour (Pt.2). This colourful EP is the follow up to her debut EP, Bored In Colour (Pt.1).
SOFY infuses 00s Brit Pop, indie/alt-pop with a flow inspired by Hip Hop. SOFY’s sound is reminiscent of Lily Allen but SOFY’s humour and cutting lyrics make her stand out.
There is a range of growth from SOFY’s debut single, ‘Strawberry Milkshake’ to now. SOFY was an instant favourite artist here at LOUD WOMEN:
Another artist created from the pandemic, SOFY picked up songwriting only a year ago. She was placed on furlough and now a year later we have this talented emerging artist.
‘Strawberry Milk‘ review by Reva May
Bored In Colour (Pt.2) is the completed debut release from SOFY. Besides showcasing an evolution of sound and growth as a songwriter, this EP shows an dynamic range within the six tracks.
“I wanted to make a two part EP from the offset as the first introduction to SOFY, because once I started writing songs for the first time last year it opened up a whole new world for me and I found I had quite a lot to say (shock). I’m always thinking about a million things at once but have never really been one to write them down until I discovered songwriting, so the whole Bored in Colour project definitely feels like a first diary entry in a way – a window into the weird running social commentary that’s on my mind 24/7, and a collection of my thoughts and experiences so far. Although the overall concept remains consistent with Part 1, Part 2 definitely feels like an evolution of my sound, meshing upbeat indie and britpop with the wonky alt-pop and hip-hop influences of the first EP.”
