06/sophie/oil of every pearls' un-insides
late in this album's run, during the bridge for album highlight "immaterial", guest vocalist cecile believe sings: "i was just a lonely girl in the eyes of my inner child, i could be anything i want... i don't even have to explain... i can't be held down...anyhow, any place, anywhere, anyone...any form, any shape, anyway...anything, anything i want". and as these words hit, you soon realize that they pretty much serve as the album's mission statement. on her debut album, the veil is lifted and sophie presents sophie the bombastic pop star on her own terms. oil of every pearls' un-insides is a cosmic like journey to a whole new world of experimental electronic dance pop that is deconstructed or expanded upon in dizzying and often abrasive beat thumping ways. she is any form, any shape, anything she wants, making the music underneath it all some of the most exciting and intriguing pop to hit the universe this year.
