Sophie Powers – Break Up On The Weekend

Since her debut just last year, rising Canadian punk-pop starlet Sophie Powers has gone on to garner over 2.5 million streams, while also picking up praise from the likes of FADER, American Songwriter, Alternative Press and The Noise.

Anthemic new single ‘Breakup On The Weekend’ is lifted from debut EP ‘Red in Revenge’, of which Powers says:

“After turning 16, I quickly realised the world was not the place I was told would be. It’s not easy to make your dreams come true – it’s not even easy to dream – which made me angry. ‘Red In Revenge’ represents the angry, depressive and anxious state I was in while realising this, as well as the state I was in while struggling to find confidence and place in society as a teenage girl, pursuing my dream, living alone in another country, far from home/ the norm.”

New Music: Sophie Powers

This year seems to be yielding a whole new generation of rockers, and that’s something I’m pretty OK with. While Toronto-born artist Sophie Powers is still only 16-years old, yet her vocal’s intensity is years ahead.

Her new single ‘Lonely Army’ tackles the feeling of widespread loneliness that so many of us experienced during 2020’s seemingly endless lockdown.

“’Lonely Army’ is an anthemic song. It speaks on behalf of my generation. I want to start a conversation, as it feels adults and people who are not struggling during this time need to understand that almost everyone else is, whether they show it or not.”
