SOFY announces forthcoming mixtape and UK headline tour, shares new single

New single 'Ashley Cole Type Beat' is one of the most playful tracks on the upcoming project

Buzzing UK talent SOFY delivers a triple threat, releasing a brand new single alongside the announcement of her forthcoming mixtape and first ever headline tour.

Speaking about the track, SOFY explains: "'Ashley Cole Type Beat' is one of the most playful tracks on the mixtape, it’s about hedonism, giving in to temptation and basically being a bit of a dickhead but being totally unapologetic about it - ‘Coz I’m a reckless driver, got no self control, when you’re a semi - pro liar, life’s an open goal ’. I love writing songs like this, where you can just totally lean into a character or an aspect of personality that you wouldn’t usually tap into in everyday life - it’s like letting the devil on your shoulder write a song for you. It’s such a fun song, and I feel like the production really leans into that as well, it’s got that in-your-face almost playground-esque taunting feeling to it that matches the lyrics really well."

The upcoming mixtape, titled 'Chaos & Commotion', will be a nod to SOFY's previous two EP’s 'Bored In Colour (Pt.1)' and 'Bored In Colour (Pt.2)', but will stand as a 9-track opus demonstrating her own artistic evolution as well as the creative confidence instilled by the rewards she has reaped from earlier releases. The project will also be SOFY's first pressed to vinyl. 

Just 4-weeks later, she will embark on her debut UK headline tour to share the excitement of its release with her ever-growing fanbase, with stops in Glasgow, Leeds, Nottingham, Bristol, Manchester, and her hometown of Leicester. She'll also hold down a 3-night residency at The Grace in London.
