Sophie - Product (Clear Vinyl) Vinyl LP

SOPHIE classics 'BIPP', 'LEMONADE' and 'VYZEE' are joined by two immaculate 'PRODUCT'-era songs 'OOH' and 'GET HIGHER' recorded and produced at the time, each with colorful single artwork completing the set. 'OOH' is one of SOPHIE's earliest productions that has been through several revisions since 2011. It was one of three original tracks that Numbers had signed when SOPHIE uploaded the song alongside 'BIPP' and 'ELLE' to her Soundcloud, and while it had been through several iterations and speed changes, this finalized version was completed by SOPHIE in 2019. SOPHIE once described 'OOH' as 'hi tech club dance pop'. Musically speaking, the earworm hook is carved out by her signature portamento-infused synths and candy-coated lyrics, a firm cult classic approved by AG Cook and Charli XCX. Initially titled 'MAKE RESPECT', the track was first performed live by SOPHIE in 2011 to a handful of lucky people at a beach afterparty surrounding Sonar Festival in Barcelona and later that year at Manhattan's New Museum. The vocal was recorded as the first track in the same one-day recording session as SOPHIE's debut single 'NOTHING MORE TO SAY', released on the Huntley & Palmers label, where Sophie's songwriting was performed by the London vocalist Jaide Green. The genesis of the 'OOH' and 'NOTHING MORE TO SAY' recording session is lore-worthy in it's own right: after watching Jaide Green perform live with Olly Murs during the sixth series of The X Factor in 2009, SOPHIE reached out and invited Jaide to record in her home bedroom studio. 'GET HIGHER' was born during joyous sessions in 2013, when SOPHIE's beat was introduced to the vocalists Cassie Davis and Sean Mullins. The track feels like a visionary precursor to 'Vroom Vroom', and doesn't sound out of place next to the sub-clang intensity of SOPHIE's 'HARD' and 'MSMSMSM'. Striking a playful balance between blissed-out hyperpop and club-ready Atlanta trap, it showcases SOPHIE's signature, laser sharp sound design. Originally released as a bonus track on the Japanese CD edition of 'PRODUCT', 'GET HIGHER' has remained a hidden gem. A groundbreaking producer, songwriter and performer, SOPHIE's visionary approach reshaped the landscape of pop and electronic music. Emerging in the early 2010's, SOPHIE introduced a hyper-detailed, futuristic sound defined by metallic textures, elastic basslines, and an uncanny blend of synthetic and emotional tones. Collaborating with artists including Charli XCX, Madonna, Vince Staples, and Arca, SOPHIE helped pioneer a new pop movement while challenging conventions around identity, genre and production. SOPHIE's work continues to resonate deeply, leaving a lasting impact on a generation of artists and listeners alike.
