Sophie is the upcoming second and final studio album by Scottish recording artist and producer Sophie. It will be posthumously released on 27 September 2024. Three singles have preceded it, starting with "Reason Why".

Background

After Sophie's unexpected death in 2021, plans of releasing her unpublished works were discussed. In June 2021, her brother considered the possibility of a posthumous release of the planned "pop record" follow-up to her debut album that was already near completion.[1]

Three years later on 21 June 2024, Sophie's YouTube channel and a new social media account titled "@msmsmsm_forever" uploaded a series of videos and posts teasing an announcement on 24 June 2024.[2] [3] When the teased date arrived, the lead single from the album, "Reason Why", featuring Kim Petras and BC Kingdom, was released alongside an announcement of the posthumous self-titled album to be released in September that year.[4]

On Instagram, Sophie's family posted a statement regarding the album.[5] [6]
