Today’s Top Tune: Sofie Royer ‘Sesquicentennial’

Austrian based artist Sofie Royer returns with “Sesquicentennial,” the first glimpse of her forthcoming album before/after (out Sept. 4). Blending sophisticated pop with philosophical reflection, the track explores the cycles we repeat throughout our lives—capturing that fleeting moment between who we've been and who we're becoming.

“The idea for the song came to me in the Texas heat after a SXSW show when I read the word on the back of a bumper sticker. It means every one hundred and fifty years; which I remember my sunstroked self finding both silly and thrilling, and made me think about all that’s cyclical in our own lifetimes; what we’re fated to repeat.”
