When many of us often feel isolated, Quebec City-based artist Sophie Breton has created a musical haven where feelings of togetherness are prioritised. She first ventured on her musical journey in 2019, inspired by a myriad of influential women in the industry such as Billie Eilish, Charlotte Cardin and H.E.R.
Driven by a passion for live performances and a desire to bring to life her own sonic vision, she flourished from an avid showgoer to a rising artist under her own name. Sophie grounds her work in self-awareness, sensitivity and thoughtful storytelling, delivering emotions and melodies wrapped in a chilled out indie pop sound.
Unveiling her sound in 2019, she released her debut single “I Don’t Feel Good,” which she followed up with a string of singles in the build up to her 2022 debut EP titled Not Today. Last year saw her follow up with the single “Slow Driver” and now she brings us her latest release with the brand new single titled “Nota Bene,” a pop-focused indie folk outing written as a soothing reminder to stay present in the moment, a self-reflective piece penned by the artist to counter the distractions of dwelling in the past or anxiously anticipating the future.
“Nota Bene” serves as a prelude to Sophie’s upcoming album, set to drop later this year, presenting an enticing view into the latest chapter of her charming sonic output. Opened by the delicate plucks of acoustic guitar as distant vocalisations whisper in the background, Sophie’s lead voice glides in with an airy aesthetic, hovering beautifully above the subtle bounce of guitar backing.
Spinning alluring melodies, she speaks straight to the listener’s heart with heartfelt and meaningful lyricism, casting an enchanting spell throughout. With gentle piano plinks cutting through the sonic haze, the stripped back arrangement creates an intimate setting for Sophie Breton’s songwriting to truly shine.
It’s a stunning new single that captures the timeless and delightful sound of this talented artist while building excitement for her forthcoming record release. With her new album on the horizon, we can’t wait to see how Sophie Breton delivers her musical offering across her next full-length release.
