Baltimore-born and now based in Hamburg, Sophia Kennedy returns with her highly anticipated sophomore album, Monsters, released on May 7th via City Slang. This marks her first album since the self-titled debut that came out on DJ Koze’s Pampa label in 2017. The collaboration between City Slang and Pampa showcases Kennedy’s unique sound that captures the essence of a world on the brink of chaos.
Monsters offers a captivating blend of nostalgia and innovation, weaving together haunting melodies with an undercurrent of modern club beats. Sophia’s music often feels like a cinematic experience, evoking memories and emotions that linger long after the last note fades. The album is a rollercoaster of moods, with tracks that range from the beautifully serene to moments that evoke a sense of paranoia.
Having grown up in Germany after her family moved from Baltimore, Kennedy’s musical journey has been shaped by her eclectic influences, including her mother’s record collection. Her move to Hamburg to study film led her to create music for theatrical productions, ultimately immersing her in the vibrant local scene, where she found her creative voice.
On Monsters, Kennedy collaborates with Mense Reents, known for his work with the acclaimed house act Die Vögel. Together, they’ve pushed the boundaries of her sound to new heights, crafting tracks that blend unexpected elements into something truly captivating. Standout songs like “Seventeen” offer a twist on Americana, while the closer “Dragged Myself Into The Sun” delivers a punch with its layered drones and powerful energy.
