Introducing Sofi Gev she is the solo project of American singer-songwriter and indie pop artist Hannah Lovelady. Influenced by such artists as Birdy, Aurora, Maggie Rogers, Coeur De Pirate, Regina Spektor, Shara Nova of My Brightest Diamond, and Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes, her music layers introspective, offbeat lyrics and delicate vocals over a dreamy blend of indie pop, electronica, and indie folk. Her earliest and most enduring musical influence came from her father singing Joni Mitchell songs to her at night as a child. Sofi Gev’s songwriting began in her childhood, entertaining herself on family road trips by making up silly songs with her younger sister. After piano lessons, she started playing the French horn in middle school band class and continued through high school. She honed her sense of melody by singing the words of recipes from cookbooks accompanied by her father playing acoustic guitar. If you listen closely, you will hear revealed in an intimate yet universal way a woman bravely, fearfully, but honestly embracing and confronting life. With the release of her newest single “Someday, Maybe” she presents a nostalgic sound that will certainly grasp your ears. Starting with dreamy instrumentation leading onto her soft and luscious vocals she completes the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s an exploration of her worst fear – losing a loved one. She thinks it might feel like the ground disappearing under your feet. You’re suspended in freefall, looking for a safe landing that never comes. A dusty hollowness permeates your house, so you step outside desperate for some fresh air, but the feeling follows you like a headache. Not knowing what happens after death, you wonder if you might hear from them again somehow, but you also feel ridiculous doing so. The worst kind of isolation. To the vocals and production, this single will definitely have you vibing and possibly relating to the lyrics. It would be just perfect for a late-night drive or a walk down the beach after dawn. Go stream “Someday, Maybe” and check out her discography which is filled with outstanding music.
