Was able to see her live a year or two ago. Pretty incredible show, it's awful she's gone. Rest easy

Rest in power. Thank you for creating such a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community. Your ability to captivate an entire room with your smile and sound will forever be praised in my mind and heart. Nothing More To Say.

genre and generationally defining artist.
seriously, there may never be another like her. we have Arca still but what she did for music and LGBTQ representation is unremarkable. she had as bright a future as any artist.
really hope we see those PRODUCT LP's repressed along with Nothing More To Say in a fairly priced bundle on a much widely available scale. i need to bump SOPHIE whenever possible as much as possible. her spirit lives on through her music.

"Well, you have the possibility with electronic music to generate any texture, in theory, and any sound. So, why would any musician want to limit themselves? You should want to work with the most powerful tools you can work with. And in the past that may have been a piano or a guitar, but now I think the power of software and synthesizers is something that all musicians, I would think, would want to harness."
Whenever I think of SOPHIE, that exact quote ALWAYS comes to mind. The interview it came from meant so much to me when I first saw it. This news feels absolutely world-shattering to me because it was my entire worldview that she had a hand in influencing. Not only in music, but in life, too. She was the most empowering figure in my life and lifted me up like nobody else. I am who I am thanks to her influence...
If you are a producer, musician, artist, anything, never be afraid to be unapologetically yourself. Push yourself to your limit with your craft BECAUSE YOU CAN.
My hero, a larger-than-life persona. Thank you for everything, I'm a better person because of you.
REST IN POWER SOPHIE

If A.G. Cook is the godfather of hyperpop, can we remember SOPHIE as the godmother of hyperpop? 💖

Phh, What can you say? I'm heartbroken, we first found out we lost Doom earlier this month, which hurt, but this is something else... something even more personal. She was fantastic, extraordinarily gifted, powerful and somehow made the ugly, beautiful.
All of this was reflected in her personality, I saw her once about 5 years ago before her coming out. She stood there, black leather jacket, motionless, throwing out bomb after bomb, with only the occasional head bop or smile, even during tracks like 'Vroom Vroom' being dropped. It was like watching a porcelain doll, effortless, mesmerising and totally unique to watch.
The one thing I can take with me is the fact we got the Autechre remix she so desperately wanted just before she passed.
Rest in paradise.

R.I.P to an absolutely fantastic artist. One of the most innovative electronic acts who wasn’t afraid to step out of her comfort zone. A true pioneer and an influence to so many. You will be missed.
