sophie-lou

sophie-lou is the stage name of Sofie Emilie Maintz Thorsen, a Copenhagen-based singer-songwriter known for her fearless emotional honesty and deep vulnerability in her music. She grew up immersed in jazz and spent 14 years performing with the Danish National Girls’ Choir, which shaped her unique blend of ambient, electronic, and choral-infused sounds. Her debut EP, *It’s easy to be soft*, released in 2025 via Virgin Records, serves as a love letter to vulnerability and a tribute to her late mother. The EP includes standout tracks like "How to not expect too much" and "I will love you till I die," the latter characterized by rich, layered choral voices and a bold rock-infused production that captures the contrasting emotions of grief and love during a transformative period in her life.

Her songwriting draws from personal experiences and deep introspection, with songs exploring themes such as love, loss, and self-compassion. sophie-lou herself produced much of her work, collaborating with mixing and mastering engineers to create a sound that is both intimate and grandiose. Her approach invites listeners into a musical safe space where vulnerability is celebrated rather than hidden, marking her as a compelling new voice on the Nordic music scene.
