Sophia Powers gets unapologetic with bold new single “muddy”

Sophie Powers, a Canadian-born, LA-based singer-songwriter known for pushing the boundaries just a little bit further each time she releases new music, pushes it even farther on “muddy”. The song is a turning point in her creative evolution. It’s the “most provocative” work she has ever made.

“Muddy” exudes a raw tension that’s equal both bold and pleasing. Lyrically, it’s brave, unapologetically investigating desire, power, and the grime of being human. Sophie doesn’t tease the edge: she leaps it, unapologetically. With lyrics like “I want your oxygen all over my body, sweat could drop, I wanna get muddy, glamorous, but we could get ugly,” she’s willing to celebrate such contradictions, beauty and messiness; glamor and grime; attraction and danger.

At 21, Sophie Powers writes with the confidence of an artist settling deeply into her voice. Since she arrived in 2021, she has gained a reputation through honesty and boldness, but “muddy” comes off as closer to her definitive statement thus far. There’s no second-guessing, just a genuine portrait of growth, sexuality, and self-acceptance.

‘Muddy’ is a statement. It’s Sophie Powers announcing that she’s finally not afraid to show every side of herself: the polished, the provocative, and the imperfectly real.
