Sophro releases new single “Our Song”

Originally hailing from Lithuania and now based in Manchester, the ethereal electronic project known as Sophro is led by the artist Deimante Pranckeviciute. Her music bridges geographical borders, written in both her native tongue and English, wrapped up in a dazzling fusion of electronic and organic instrumentation.

The Sophro was first unveiled in 2018 with her debut single “Wayfarer.” Since then, she’s dropped a string of well-received singles as well as a remix EP for her track “Blue Amber” in 2020. This year, she returned with the single “Emerald Green” and now brings us her latest release, the brand new track titled “Our Song.”

With this single she explores themes of burnout, the acceptance of feeling lost, resilience and the enduring support of friends and family that guide us through even the darkest of times. The song opens with a gentle shimmer of synth textures, joined by the swell of electronic pulses, crafting a dreamy atmosphere.

Sophro’s alluring vocals dance beautifully above the swirling synth tones and the laid back snap of a beat that gradually builds up to launch the chorus. Here, layers of synths and subtly punchy drums collide to form a dazzling foundation over which Sophro threads stunning vocal leads carrying blissful, stretched melodies, peppered with smooth lines of backing voices.

It’s an immersive synth pop ballad that wraps you up in warm electronic tones, carries you with a mellow rhythm and leaves you with memories of sweet melodies. It’s a truly enchanting song that softly weaves through an ethereal landscape, perfectly balancing intricate electronic instrumentation with gently energising percussion.

Lifted from her upcoming EP, we can expect a sensational release from this exciting artist. Commenting on the context behind writing the song, she shares, “Our Song is like a hymn to my friends. When I remember those years, trying to get out of a dark void, I often wonder how long it would have taken me to do it if not for those friends/family talking pure honesty to me, holding my hand, kicking my butt and giving me a hug. My loneliest times were never lonely, it inspired me to not let go even when I wanted it the most and keep searching for the door out, which I happily did! I am forever grateful.”
