I know right, it gives me those vibes as well !
But I also feel like she's been super inspired by this one movie called 'Dr. Zhivago'.
I don't know if anybody knows it here, it's quite old but it's SO epic/beautiful and 'Wanderlust' could literally be the soundtrack to that movie.
I know she loves it because she posted a picture on instagram of her going to a Dr.Zhivago themed dinner.
Just take a look at the cover and the trailer and I think you'll understand why I mention it.
It's a great movie actually, one of my favorites, the trailer doesn't do the beauty of it justice imo.
That and the fairytales like you said were the two biggest inspirations I think.
Here's the BBC Breakfast interview !
She looked so gorgeous, loved her styling !
And I noticed how happy she was cause normally she can be a bit icy on these morning shows, lol.
I like this album. I've always loved Sophie's voice but the only album by hers I enjoyed fully was her 2007 one. And then the fantastic Groovejet + Murder on the Dancefloor.
Her voice totally suits this type of relaxed music. And it's good production as well!
I've been stanning for Sophie since i joined the forums. Survivors, avatars, personal countdowns. And i never saw her getting this kind of attention around the forums. Strictly come dancing def helped her name
Videos from the album launch at Bush Hall Music are up !
She looked amazing (she really doesn't age, wow) and was wearing the dress from the cover.
She also sounded magnificent !
13 Little Dolls was one of my favorite performances out of these and of course Birth Of An Empire as well. Here's the setlist :
Birth Of An Empire
Until The Stars Collide
Runaway Daydreamer
The Deer And The Wolf
Young Blood
When The Storm Has Blown Over
13 Little Dolls
Wrong Side Of The Sun
Love Is A Camera
Cry To The Beat Of The Band
Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)
Medley
Murder On The Dancefloor
Interlude
She also did a performance and a little interview for 'ZDF-Morgenmagazin' in Germany.
She performed a little bit of 'Runaway Daydreamer' and 'Young Blood' in full.
Good to see her doing some promo outside of the UK !
I know it's not saying much but it's the best album I've heard all year, I'm enamored with the storytelling, the craftmanship and the overall feel of the album.
It's so amazing, I can't stop listening to it in its entirety
I'm so happy spotify added her whole
Discography!!! I never thought that would happen given her mom existing charting history in the US. At least now
