St. Vincent Says She Paid Tribute to the ‘Beautiful, Poetic’ Producer Sophie With Forthcoming Song

St. Vincent pays tribute to the late producer Sophie in an upcoming song. See what she had to say about the track.

Speaking to The Guardian in an interview published on Saturday (March 2), the singer — otherwise known as Annie Clark — said that a song called “Sweetest Fruit” off her new album serves as an ode to late electronic music pioneer Sophie, who died in 2021 after a fatal fall. I was an admirer from afar; we never met, but I read about the way that she fell because she was trying to get a better look at the moon, which was just the most beautiful, poetic thing I’ve ever heard,” she told the paper, adding that the song is about “people trying for transcendence.” In the aftermath of her death, Sophie was eulogized by a wide range of fellow artists, including Rihanna, Nile Rodgers, Christine and the Queens, Rina Sawayama and Sam Smith.
