Many of you out there might already be familiar with Sophia Bavishi. Active since 2021, the Phoenix-based creative has showcased a knack for fierce, modern electro-pop, pairing big choruses, punchy drums and cinematic soundscapes. ‘ya we broke up’ is the single that started it all, the debut of a clearly talented artist. That very same song now gets treated by Bavishi to a charming acoustic version, something that reveals some of the hidden nuances in Sophia’s vocals and artistry.
You see, we always look at the project through a heavy modern pop lens, learning to recognize Sophia from her powerful, electronic productions. Now, we have the chance to admire her pure and unfiltered musicianship in a poignant stripped-back version. Built over a simple piano, ‘ya we broke up’ gets back to its original message, highlighting the feelings of resilience and hope that Bavishi so carefully embodies. Not to mention, the listener is able to grasp the magnitude of Sophia’s vocal tone, so majestic and evocative while controlled and dynamic.
Explaining the reasoning behind the record, Bavishi explains: “In some way, the evolution of this song mirrors how I’ve evolved as a musician. I’ve stripped away the outer layers, and came out stronger and more focused. I’m still figuring out exactly who I am as a musician, but with this song, I feel like I’m a few steps closer.”
