    Not really a proper album, but as a collection of singles, Product is about as good as you can get, and it's surprisingly cohesive too. SOPHIE is definitely someone to watch out for in the future, he's making some of the most exciting, forward-thinking, flawlessly produced music right now (also see Charli XCX's excellent Vroom Vroom EP which he produced). It sounds like avant-gardeNot really a proper album, but as a collection of singles, Product is about as good as you can get, and it's surprisingly cohesive too.

It sounds like avant-garde bubblegum pop dance music from the future, and there's nothing else like it… Expand

    'PRODUCT' is a fun and poppy collection of music by producer Sophie. Although the whole experience throughout the album is a literal emotional rollercoaster, some tracks on this compilation are, to be honest, very annoying and redundant. Songs like "Vyzee" and "Elle" are two unnecessarily bloated and dull tracks, but on the contrary, fantastic songs like "Lemonade" are way too short.'PRODUCT' is a fun and poppy collection of music by producer Sophie.

    One of the most innovative takes on pop and dance music. SOPHIE is really setting the standards for the future of pop.

    The slow build up of minimalist beats and confused synth riffs combined with odd and somehow disturbing lyrics are sure to please any of fan of experimental and slightly off-beat electronic music.

    Of the four new tracks, Just Like We Never Said Goodbye is the pick, evoking a John Hughes school disco scene soundtracked by Aphex Twin, though anyone feeling the package still lacks substance can select the full "Silicon" option at Sophie's webstore. [Feb 2016, p.118]

    They never outstay their welcome or settle into anything as complacent as a groove, leaving nothing behind but a sugary residue and a feeling of faint violation. [Jan 2016, p.80]

    The bottom line is this: Product is a great album, even though it isn't exactly surprisingly great. Many of Sophie’s best tracks, come to find out, are the ones we’ve heard since 2013.
