sophie-lou - How to not expect too much

Excited to feature a new up-and-coming artist from Denmark: please meet sophie-lou, who asks the difficult question “How to not expect too much.” Personally, I think that’s impossible — in my book, it’s important to set the bar high. But of course, sophie-lou and I come from different life circles and experiences. Asked about the track, she shares:

I had lost my mother—the most important person in my life—and I had done everything to escape that grief. When I finally found a home, I fell in love for the first time while still completely broken. The song was born from that collision.

Her debut EP It’s easy to be soft is out October 3. It’s a love letter to vulnerability — a musical safe space built from diary entries and fearless emotional honesty.

“The EP is about choosing softness in a world that tells you to harden. I’ve learned to take my vulnerability seriously — and that has opened up a much more compassionate space, both for myself and for others.”

Behind the artist moniker stands Sofie Emilie Maintz Thorsen, who produced the EP herself. It was mixed by Nanna Schannong (Lowly), mastered by Alma Hede (De Må Være Belgiere), and will be distributed via Virgin Records.
