Baltimore-born, Hamburg-based, composer and singer Sophia Kennedy will release here sophomore album Monsters via City Slang on Friday 7th May. It’s the first release since her self-titled album came out on DJ Koze’s Pampa label in 2017. City Slang have joined forces with Pampa for the release of new album. Sophia Kennedy’s music sometimes sounds like a soundtrack to a world disintegrating, hanging on by a thread of memories, it combines the glamour and the morbid charm of tin pan alley show tunes from the 1960s or 70s and yet it fully embraces the deconstructed modernism of club music. Her new album Monsters, is full of plot twists, moments of prettiness dashed with paranoia. Monsters is pop music teetering on the verge of ruin.
