Reeperbahn Festival - Sofie Royer

In the organizer's words:

Presented by:

Center national de la musique What the France

I'm just a moment that stretches into infinity - what Sofie Royer boils down to a few words in her song "Nothing new in the West" aptly sums up the impetus of her music. On the one hand, her songs are characterized by a great closeness, dealing with contemporary issues and the thoughts of an entire generation. The here and now is important to the Viennese. But it arises above all in contrast to yesterday and today, where she likes to draw on musically. Creatively erupting indie charm and stylistically confident art-pop airs come together, shimmering Italo disco from the 80s and synthwave from the present. Between the vibes, Sofie Royer integrates one idea after another into her retro-futuristic signature sound and yet remains unmistakably the artist who does her very own thing, detached from the trendsetting of these days. So it's hardly surprising that she is once again wowing listeners with "Young-Girl Forever" (2024), which was released last year. Pop music as an artistic venture that deserves to be rewarded.
