09/sophie/it's okay to cry
prior to this single's release, sophie found refuge in the studio behind the beats and the production and the sweat inducing rhythms. but this time, for this song and her debut album's opener, she wanted to be sure that the message was conveyed in person. that the words come across clearly, and that she is seen and heard; and, most importantly, that you know that she is here. here with a minimalist power ballad sent from the heavens, filled with the warmth and intimacy of a much needed hug or message of encouragement from someone you hold dear. it does not shout, nor is it or she here to judge. and as the conversation builds and the song reaches its triumphant conclusion, professing its love and loyalty to you, the listener on the other end, a little bit louder now, you feel it and feel seen, just as sophie intended.
