The keen reader will remember Sophie Breton from a feature we published earlier this year, praising ‘Who Do I Call?’ as “finding its perfect place in the DIY indie-pop scene, yet maintaining a relatable popular component thanks to Breton’s evocative and brooding songwriting”. We stand by our words, and in fact, they are also part of the reason why we appreciate the Canadian songstress so much. She’s not really trying to embark on a mainstream tirade, instead finding a worthy refuge in the unconventional, into authenticity.
‘Offline’ doubles down on it. Marking Breton’s latest single, the track develops with crepuscular flair and evocative elegance, a brooding dark-pop cut that’s melancholic and dreamy. Part of an upcoming album, ‘Offline’ reflects on the need for disconnection, advocating for a return to a more organic approach to personal interactions. We suspect that the song will connect with a wide audience out there.
Delving deeper into the meaningful ethos that propels ‘Offline’, Breton explains: “I started writing this song 4 years ago, never thinking it would go anywhere until I found the demo one year ago and decided to give it a new chance. The structure of the song is very unique and unconventional. I think that’s why I love it so much and decided to release it at this point in my career: it reflects my path in the industry.”
