Sophie Straat + Support

‘Wie de fak is Sophie Straat?’ That’s the name of her new album, out October 3. After that, forgetting her won’t be an option. Between UK garage, breakbeat and bossa nova, she sings about power and the people who always seem to get the short end of the stick. Victim or villain? Those roles were written long ago. Cast, labelled and boxed in. Her new album punches straight through the norm. It’s about rules, roles, and rows of identical houses painted the wrong colour. Sophie Straat isn’t a solo artist. She’s a moving front. Post-everything. Pre-revolution. A new sound, a new chapter. Same old shit to fight. And tonight? It’s gonna be one loud, glorious, beautiful mess of our own.
