My "Album of the Year" writeup for SOPHIE (2024) is up now on r/popheads.

This album is the midnight zone, the abyss of space, the darkness of the club and of making love with the lights off and of a good night’s rest when all is done. In the darkness you feel less self-conscious, unable to see yourself or anyone around you; paradoxically, this makes it easy to dance closer, to be intimate with your lover, to rest in their arms. Darkness is the exhilaration of freefall and the safety of a blanket over your head. Darkness is the dome we are protected by; it’s both where we come from and where we are all going. It is “the cradle of [our] civilization… the cradle of all times.” That isn’t to say that darkness cannot also be frightening on this album. “Intro (The Real Horror),” for example, is incredibly menacing. But the foreboding nature of the darkness here feels almost kinky; it’s scary the way a good domme is scary. SOPHIE recontextualizes black, darkness, and dominance as feminine, almost motherly—in a mommy kink sort of way. When Nina on “The Dome’s Protection” says “stop,” you stop. When she says “let’s go,” you go. There is a comfort in the simplicity, the certainty of the command. A latex-gloved hand may force your chin up, but it also gives you somewhere to rest your head.  In both manifesting and embodying this kind of comforting darkness, SOPHIE at once creates and is a comfortable space for all of us to process what has happened. Just as darkness is an essential part of comfort, so is loss an essential part of love. Time moves forward. You find a way to live, to dance. A rabbi’s advice on grief: imagine you were told in advance that your beloved could only be here for a limited amount of time, and asked whether you still wanted them. Would you wish they had never existed in your life, or would you accept them, and the loss, and be grateful for every moment thereafter? I have never met someone, no matter the profundity of their pain, who chooses the former. SOPHIE was so special, and we were so lucky to have her as long as we did. I view this album as Jia Tolentino does: a last gift.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have done this writeup. You’ve definitely heard of the saying that a person dies twice—once when they die physically, then a final time when their name is no longer spoken aloud. In that sense, I don’t believe SOPHIE ever will truly die, but it means the world to be a part of that immortality. Additionally, in 2023 I wrote a short (18+) fiction piece about pop girls inspired in part by the emotions and ideas SOPHIE always gave me when I heard her music. You can also check out my recommendations for musical tributes to SOPHIE in the comments under this writeup.
