Sophia B – “Can’t Erase” (Out Sept 17)

 

Rising singer-songwriter Sophia B, age 21, returns with her haunting new single “Can’t Erase” (out September 17). 

The song explores unforgettable connections that linger in our minds, haunting us even when they’re no longer good for us, with lyrics like:

“Please save me from these memories / Thoughts of you and me that I can't erase…”

Co-produced by Matthew Golub (son of legendary guitarist Jeff Golub), and featuring Steven Mejia on piano/bass and Jacob Singson on drums, the track blends Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B, and folk influences. Sophia is currently at Berklee Valencia, and the music video and album cover nod to Europe’s historic landscapes — a visual metaphor for memories that can’t be erased.

Early curator praise:
“The vocal performance stood out as soulful and expressive…We’re officially adding Can’t Erase to our Indie Soul & Motion playlist!” – Indie Space Records

“The vibe felt smooth and emotional…a unique character that stays with you after listening.” – Galaxy Frog

Sophia B Visits Section 36 Music!

Section 36 Music has another visitor! Fresh off her single, "Old City - Live" Sophia B visits with us to discuss her music, future goals, and more! I couldn't have been more excited about the opportunity.

So, let's see what happens when Sophia B visits Section 36 Music!

I adore your recent single, “Old City - Live”. What can you tell me about it?

I wrote this song originally for a project for my LENS Engaging with Boston class. It was my first semester at Berklee, and I had a hard time adjusting to my new environment coming from New York City. So this song is basically a love letter to Boston . 

What was your favorite part of the recording process?

My favorite part of the recording process was seeing all the parts of my song, clarinet, drums, piano, guitar come together!

You currently attend Berklee College of Music. What made Berklee the right fit for you?

Definitely, it’s the whole package for me, I’m studying what I love and I am constantly learning and growing.

Who or what would you say are your biggest musical influences?

My main musical influences come from the Pop, R&B, and Jazz genre. I listen to Laufey, Olivia Dean, and Ariana Grande.

What is the biggest challenge you face when it comes to your music?

Balancing my creative image with the demands of the music industry.

What are your immediate music goals?

To sync my songs for licensing companies, continue being play-listed on Spotify, maintain my brand and for as many people as possible to listen!  

---

I think we could definitely help her with some of those goals!

As always, I want to thank Sophia for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview.

I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram, and Spotify to make sure you don't miss a thing. 

Thanks again Sophia, and good luck reaching your goals!
