Sofia Lafuente – 'Here Again'

Dark pop newcomer Sofia Lafuente sets the bar high with powerful debut single ‘Here Again’.

To a slick backdrop of moody basslines and immersive sonic textures, ‘Here Again’ reflects on a relationship that may or may not be worth saving. An urgent undertone runs through the track’s exhilarating chorus and Sofia’s soaring vocals, giving the track its cinematic edge – “It’s not too late, won’t you change my mind. Show me there’s a way we’ll make it out alright.” Soaked in the kind of drama that keeps you hanging on to Sofia’s every word, ‘Here Again’ is fascinating in an existential way. “[It’s] the darkest of the songs in my mind both sonically and thematically,” Sofia explains. “I wanted to capture the highs and lows that relationships can bring and how they can really push you to be confronted with bigger questions like what’s important to you, what you need and who you are.”

Starting her journey with a tidal wave of dark, atmospheric alt-pop, Sofia Lafuente is aiming for a rapid ascent. ‘Here Again’ is the kind of debut that is an instant head turner, grabbing your attention and filling the air with promises of big things to come.
