“Completing the album became a family project for Benny and his sister Emily Long. She studied music law to work with Sophie, and she passed the bar exam two weeks before her sibling’s death. Once Benny resolved to finish Sophie’s album, Emily joined him in making decisions. “Every single day we talk about Sophie and what she loved and the things that would make her happy,” Emily said via a video call from Los Angeles. “We all know why we’re here. We’re all here for her.”

SOPHIE’s siblings Ben and Emily Long for The New York Times Think this is the first time I’ve ever seen an image of her sister… Kim Petras and BC Kingdom interviewed and photographed for The New York Times

The Guardian interviewed Ben, their two sisters, Jeffrey Sfire, Marcella Dusi, Andrew Thomson, Banoffee, Cecile Believe, Hannah Diamond, etc https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/20/sophie-posthumous-album-interview “Sophie, the album, was completed after her death by Ben Long, Sophie’s brother and longtime studio engineer. Speaking from Los Angeles, Ben says that he and his siblings, Emily Long and Katy Grimston, did not take lightly the task of completing their sister’s final record. Present in nearly all of Sophie’s studio sessions in the final few years of her life, Ben already knew intimately how the album would look when his sister died. The 16-song tracklist, which traverses pop, ambient music and techno, had been roughly sketched out by Sophie, and for many of the songs “everything was there – the arrangement, the production”. According to Ben, some songs only needed a little bit of mixing and mastering; others were between sketches and demos, but he and Sophie had discussed them at length, meaning he knew in which direction they needed to be taken. The resulting album features longtime Sophie collaborators such as Cecile Believe, Hannah Diamond, Juliana Huxtable and Doss, and showcases the late musician’s interest in supremely challenging electronic music and euphoric pop. Intro (The Full Horror) is a soundscape built from ominous synth drones; The Dome’s Protection, featuring techno DJ Nina Kraviz, is an ambient, spoken-word song that feels clammy and alienating. In true Sophie fashion, the album is dense and unpredictable, never settling into the easy rhythms of a post-death tribute.” - “Hence the album Sophie, which flows through and was designed to work in tandem with a live show she had been working on. Many of the record sessions sprang, without plan, from social events. One such song was Love Me Off Earth, the album’s final track and a collaboration with New York producer Doss, writer Thora Siemsen and artist M Zavos-Costales. Sophie and Ben were two of the last to arrive at Siemsen’s birthday party in 2018, and Sophie bonded with Zavos-Costales through discussions about poetry and art. Sophie invited the pair to the studio the next day, where she “gave us some time to free-associate” lyrics, says Siemsen. “That play element was a big part of it,” says Zavos-Costales. “It’s easy to get caught up on a line or a verse, and if there was any moment where we felt a bit stuck, it was like: ‘This isn’t working right now, let’s focus on something else and come back to it.’” Love Me Off Earth, like Immaterial, is one of Sophie’s most transcendent pop tracks: loud, invigorating and skyward-soaring, in the way much of her best music is. “I want anyone listening to it to think about the sources of love they do have on this planet,” says Siemsen. “My main hope is that people dance to it at the club, that they listen to it in the car. I think it’s cathartic.” Other songs, such as the Diamond collaboration Always and Forever, and My Forever, a song with Believe, prioritise sweetness and more classically pop melodies than Sophie often played with. “She’d messaged me and was like: ‘I’ve been really missing you and I was thinking about how one day it’d be really cool to write a song kind of like Electric Dreams,’” says Diamond. My Forever also harks back to Sophie’s 80s obsession, specifically her love of Pet Shop Boys. “We were in the studio till the sun came up, basically,” says Believe. “We made it and then spent three or four hours just listening to it on loop – we knew we had made something that was such an emotional sweet spot.””

Someone on atrl said sophie isn’t credited at all …

I’m like 99% sure The Dome’s Protection is Unpredictable Reality renamed Could Live In My Truth, Why Lies, or Always & Forever be songs we know about just renamed (ala Berlin Nightmare)?

I also thought that as well lmao. Hoping and praying it’s a continuous mix album

Message from her family: “Music and the future were always at the centre of Sophie’s world. From a very young age Sophie was taken to music festivals and raves, and it was the electronic sounds and futuristic rhythms of mainly underground dance music that really appealed to her. She was greatly influenced by the early work of artists emerging at that time such as Orbital, Moby, the Prodigy, as well as some more established acts like Pet Shop Boys and Kraftwerk. Those formative memories continued to inspire Sophie throughout her life and her own career. As her love of electronic music continued to grow into her teenage years, she began to focus on her own experiments in music making. Especially drawn to synthesis, Sophie spent many years honing her skills; pushing the limits of what was possible, striving to create the shiniest, most metallic snares and the bounciest, bubbliest bass sounds. Moving into the 2010’s Sophie wanted to create something new and futuristic sounding, while maintaining her energy and endless sense of fun, something severely lacking in dance music at the time. These experiments culminated in Sophie’s seminal collection of singles ‘PRODUCT’. While touring her own sets, as well as starting to produce pop music for other artists, Sophie and friends began developing ideas for her next era. With it she would introduce a more performative element. Until that point a publicly shy and retiring figure, Sophie emerged from the shadows with the ‘It’s Okay to Cry’ video. With the subsequent ‘Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides’ album and corresponding remix album and live shows, Sophie lets us into her world more, as we travel through space and time on a sonic adventure. SOPHIE, the self-titled follow-up album, though always intended as a more accessible, more ‘pop’ sounding record, undoubtedly maintains Sophie’s uncompromising and infinitely ambitious outlook. Made with her brother and many of her closest friends and collaborators, the album sits somewhere between a SOPHIE live show in the clouds, a massive party in her recording studio and the sweatiest club you’ve ever been to hosted by SOPHIE and friends. The future has always been a big part of Sophie, and we hope Sophie continues to be a big part of the future. As always with Sophie, exactly what comes next and what shape it takes remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, there is a lot more still to come.”
