Sophia Thakur finds her rhythm in new single “My City”

Sophia Thakur is well-known as a generational storyteller, a poet of truth and emotion. With her first single, "My City", she gracefully enters the music world, showing off her unique lyrical skill in the genres of alt-soul and indie R&B. Sophia describes her music as being well-suited for listening at sunset, and "My City" exemplifies that perfectly. It's the kind of song that plays at the end of a long day, when the world is quiet and your mind is racing.

"My City" is about the quiet tension between leaving and arriving, between the known and the unknown. It was written during a time of change between the UK and the US. It is a song originating from movement, not solely across oceans, but also within the heart. You can hear it in every word Sophia sings, her voice is soft yet confident, intimate yet unafraid.

The song, which was made with long-time collaborator Pat Cunningham, has a beautifully simple arrangement that lets Sophia's storytelling shine. Every note seems planned, and every lyric shows growth, bravery, and longing. There is no overproduction, only real emotion wrapped in warm, sunset colours.
