This singer is coming to the Vienna City Hall Square on Thursday
Singer Sovie (pronounced: So-vee) claims to make "Slay-Pop" and is currently writing songs for her debut album. However, one will have to wait a bit for that, because "I am an independent artist, which means I do everything myself and pay for everything myself," as the newcomer emphasized in an interview with APA. In the meantime, you can listen to the EP "Bei mir" and experience Sovie live on July 10th at Rathausplatz at the Aperol Spritz Piazza.
Sovie: "English much softer"
The Viennese started writing music in 2012, back then still in English. "I also recorded an album with 15 songs in 2016, but never released it. EPs with songs in English were released in 2019 and 2021, but already under my stage name." Her first German song "Schwerelos" came out in 2013, with which she opened her performance at this year's Lido Sounds Festival in Linz. "Since then, I sing in German."
German pop and rap are currently in vogue. Working with the mother tongue is "much harder," said Sovie. "Especially purely from a singing perspective. English is much softer, you can stretch a word for a long time. In German, the lyrics are more pointed. I was long afraid that the lyrics would seem pretentious. Society reflected to me that if I, as a woman, have something to say, it is more pretentious than valuable. Turning that around - no, what I have to say has value - I like that."
Piano in use
Stylistically, she makes "Slay-Pop, which is good German pop that draws from different genres." She writes most pieces on the piano, "the genre emerges in the production process, but it is always me." She wants to prove that to the Viennese audience as well.
