Folk Pop from Sofia Dragt

Dutch artist Sofia Dragt lives and breathes music. When she’s not writing music for her own artistic adventure, she’s composing music for documentaries, short films and media. Recently, she’s worked on a Dutch nature documentary series ‘WAD’, about the islands of The Netherlands by Ruben Smit which aired on Dutch national television in 2020. She continued working with the director on another documentary called ‘De Schatkamer van de Veluwe’, another documentary about the beauty of nature.

As a lover of nature and the world around her, as well as an advocate for spontaneity, Sofia Dragt loves nothing more than traveling alone and losing herself in new surroundings. On a recent trip she traveled to a Norwegian island near the city of Bodø, a journey which inspired new music and saw the artist return home with a bunch of new musical material.

She’s jut shared one of her new compositions with the track called “Temporary Gold”, this time finding inspiration during an Artist in Residence month in the stunning town of Ísafjörður in Iceland. Amongst the beautiful fjord town between the mountains, surrounded by stones, water and snow she found the creativity from the natural energy in this setting, which resulted in “Temporary Gold” spinning from her sonic vision.

The first song she wrote on that trip, with many more to follow, “Temporary Gold” offers a delicate and perfectly crafted folk pop sound. Sofia’s smooth and softly soaring vocals carry a song that’s full of enchanting melodies which deliver lyrics that tell a story and transport the listener to the alluring icy landscape which inspired the music.
