Sophie Faith has built a name through her stellar vocal performances and mesmeric
live shows. Last year saw her reach new heights, with the success of her EP ‘The
Right Side of Wrong’, and her UK tour. The project featured stand-out single ‘Heart
On My Sleeve’, co-written by UK star Stormzy.

Her return to releasing is with ‘Freudian Slips’, a delightfully dreamy tale of love.
Sophie dissects commonly felt themes of modern love, with her vocal talent shining
beautifully. Over jazz-infused piano, we hear discussion of toxic attraction and
miscommunication.

In the hook we hear stand-out lines such as, “Nine times out of ten I don’t know how
I’m going to sleep if I ain’t under your shoulder”. The feeling of a co-dependency
forming as a result of the closeness of a relationship, is something many listeners
will resonate with. This emotion is wonderfully presented, alongside sumptuous
harmonies.

“The walls are thin up in my house, so I don’t wanna talk about it no more, over the
phone”. Another stand-out lyric of the song, this one line manages to masterfully
depicts modern love. ‘Freudian Slips’ provokes visuals in the mind of the listener
throughout, perhaps most of all during this line.

In the world of UK R&B/Soul, there are few artists more captivating than Sophie
Faith. This sentiment is echoed by publications such as Lyrical Lemonade, GUAP
and The Line Of Best Fit. The latter aptly described Sophie as “Fusing the
smokiness of jazz, with 21st century heartbreak.”

‘Freudian Slips’ is the first single from an upcoming EP, with a UK/EU tour in the
works for 2024. A momentum has developed in Sophie Faith’s journey, with
decisions seeming highly deliberate at this stage. The combination of her
awe-inspiring talent, and the care being taken in the delivery of her work to her
audience is greatly exciting. It indicates Sophie Faith is well on her way to becoming
a household name. The arrival of her next EP is a fantastic prospect, as I suspect it
will contain some of her very best work to date.
