SOPHIE has been paid tribute by Google Doodle to coincide with what would’ve been her birthday today (September 17).
The hyperpop pioneer and PC Music affiliate (full name Sophie Xeon) tragically passed away on January 30, 2021 aged 34 following her accidental fall from a three storey building in Athens.
Now, the musician has been honoured by Google Doodle with a short video for her 38th birthday. Soundtracked by ‘Immaterial’, taken from her debut album ‘Oil Of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides‘, the clip depicts various portraits of SOPHIE and her Monomachine, the synthesiser she used to make her inimitable and evocative sounds from.
In the caption for the video, Google wrote: “This video Doodle celebrates the birthday of Scottish musician, producer, and DJ Sophie Xeon, who is remembered for her acclaimed experimental pop and electronic music.”
Take a look at the video below:
Recently, the eponymous posthumous album for the producer was announced in June this year. It will be released September 27 via Transgressive Records and Future Classic, with the help of her brother and long-time studio manager Benny Long.
Speaking about the forthcoming album in a statement, SOPHIE’s family wrote: “When we, Sophie’s family, took our first steps towards bringing this project to fruition we contacted the dear friends with whom she envisioned the album. We wrote, ‘We have been finding comfort in the music Sophie left us, it is a gift that we truly cherish as we try to find a way forward, with Sophie forever at the centre of our worlds’.
“Sophie didn’t often speak publicly of her private life, preferring to put everything she wanted to articulate in her music. It feels only right to share with the world the music she hoped to release, in the belief that we can all connect with her in this, the form she loved most.”
The statement concluded: “Sophie gave all of herself to her music. It’s here that she can always be found.”
So far, four singles from the record have been previewed, including ‘Reason Why (ft. Kim Petras)’, ‘Berlin Nightmare (ft. Evita Manji)’, ‘One More Time‘ and ‘Exhilarate (ft. Bibi Bourelly)’.
