In the 10 years since Sophie broke through the noise with singles such as “Bipp” and “Lemonade,” the late visionary has become synonymous with progressive pop production. So for the 10th anniversary of her breakthrough set of songs, the producer’s collaborators are celebrating her influence with a commemorative release.
On Wednesday (June 18), record label Numbers will debut an expanded anniversary edition of SOPHIE’s Product, the 2015 compilation album that brought together some of the producer’s earliest releases. Alongside the original compilation’s nine tracks, the expanded edition of Product will also include two previously unreleased singles — “Ooh” and “Get Higher.”
“Ooh,” originally created in 2011, features vocals from The X Factor alum Jaide Green, who reflected in a statement on her first reaction to hearing the track. “‘Ooh’ stood out to me, it was fun, playful, and creative. It was clear the lyrics were very significant to SOPHIE, however it didn’t feel like your usual heartbreak song, it was uptempo and happy,” she wrote. “Even still, there was a strength behind the words. I thought it was a perfect fit, pure genius.”
Meanwhile, “Get Higher” was first written by SOPHIE in 2013, when she shared the hyperpop-tinged production with singers Cassie Davis and Sean Mullins. “She had this unapologetic ferocity for being true to who she was, that was infectious. I remember dancing around in the studio, vibing to the energy of creation in a way that I had never experienced before, devoid of ego,” Mullins said in a statement of the new track. “That’s what SOPHIE did for me, and I think what she’s done for a lot of other people with her incredible ability to connect us all to our higher selves through the act of creativity.”
Product will be released on all streaming platforms Wednesday, with physical editions — including deluxe vinyl, CD and a “Product card” featuring an NFC code for instant tap access to the album phones — will be available in stores starting on July 11.
