Opening with delicate fingerpicked guitar and Sophie’s fragile, breathy vocals, the track builds from quiet intimacy into an explosive release of tangled strumming, crashing percussion and piercing emotion. It’s a striking balance of vulnerability and raw power that highlights her signature style – beauty wrapped in melancholy.

Drawing comparisons to artists who fuse introspection with atmospheric soundscapes, Sophie Lilah has already gained support from some of the biggest tastemakers around the globe and community radio nationwide.

Cold Water’s Warm sees Sophie offer a chilling yet beautiful glimpse into Busy Being in Love, an album that promises to unpack the complexities of modern relationships with honesty, grief and grace.
