The Grammy-nominated producer Sophie's final, self-titled and posthumous album — lovingly curated by her brother and studio engineer Benny Long — still sounds like the future of pop music.

Some girls want to be known, while others prefer to remain obscure. Scottish-born singer and producer Sophie was for the girls who wanted to hide behind the mixer board while still crafting their own magic—and Sophie, her first posthumous record, attempts to reconcile both of those ideals.

Sophie,” a new LP by the visionary hyperpop producer, traces an arc from introspection to pop pleasures to thoughts of eternity. It will be her final release.

The late artist’s final work might challenge and confuse some of her longtime devotees, but that should be embraced.
