there's so much more stuff, though. I Want That Trophy, Lipgloss & Cherry Pop, Kitty Cat, Let's Ride, UV Love, OOH, Get Stupid, Higher, YLOPPUMP (that people are saying it's L.O.V.E. but the ASCAP entry is still there) and probably some more since i don't follow him elsewhere besides here. do you have any downloads for any of them? all i have is higher and ooh out of that list?

This song is, as they say, a massive banger. I can understand that some of y'all wish it was 'poppier' but it has really been stuck in my head all day, which is pretty pop. I really enjoy the fact that SOPHIE made a trap track.
Honestly Lemonade has that 70 bpm trap feel as well, it just has the poppy hook in between.
Anyway yeah product fuck yeah bought that pink CD whatup

Bit disappointed that this was one of the four tracks chosen. It always seemed like a beat that would sound crazy live but one that wouldn't really serve any real purpose as a release. It sounds like a TNGHT song with some monomachine noises and lacks the distinctly pop aspects of most of his stuff. It also sounds less sonically intricate than lemonade/hard but this is probably purposeful as the entire impact of the song seems to rely on a more restrained approach production-wise. It's cool that the track sounds different from all his previously released stuff but I can't tell if it's pushing boundaries or playing it extremely safe. Along similar lines, I don't know if it signals a step forwards or backwards for Sophie as an artist that this track is one he chose to release from his massive library of unreleased stuff. This is all just an initial reaction though. It seems like it's a slower version of meat jam. The thing I loved about meat jam was that it was grimey as hell and up-tempo, where this seems a little watered down. And what is the hell is going on from the middle till the end? Ambient interlude? lol.Still better than 99.9 percent of anything on soundcloud. I'm acting like I don't pray to the sophie gods everynight and hope for a blessing of a new release. It didn't give me the same wtf/omg feelings as bipp or lemonade but I still love it.

Quality over quantity. Just these few releases and sophie is already at legendary status for me. Attachments:

interesting choice for lead single. I'd have to agree with anyone else who said that this song is moreso effective in a live setting, and I'd probably rank it close to the bottom of overall sophie output. Probably doesn't help that I've seen him several times in the past year and am very familiar with the song already so the wow factor isn't so much there for me like it once was but I think it'll definitely have it's place in the overall arc of the album. there are some touches that are nice as well, I really like the kind of.. distant siren sound that washes over the track during the breakdown, idk if that's new or if I just wasn't really tuned into it before. anyways, just happy that we seem to be coming into a time of lots of releases, what with everything happening with sophie, and hannah diamond probably ready to go this month etc

definitely gonna echo how much more effective this track is in a live setting, having had it blasted into my face from a proper live sound system in a crowd full of sweaty humans. definitely a club track, but when has SOPHIE not been making club music? (Answer: before he was SOPHIE obvi)
that said, I continue to love this song even though my speakers hardly do it justice, because EDM-trap bangers have kind of gotten tired out as far as the sonic palate goes, I feel like after Hudson Mohawke and Baauer really broke the sound everyone else was just doing variations on their styles and sound choices, whereas SOPHIE knows if he's gonna do trap then he's gotta break out the FM Synthesis and make it his own thing. name me one trap instrumental from the past 4 years that uses FM Synthesis and sound design in as interesting and fresh a way as SOPHIE does here.
but yeah, the one I'm really stoked on is "L.O.V.E."

funny that everyone wanted this song so badly and now it's here they've changed their minds! Personally I'm really happy that it's out, I would never have thought it would get a proper release, I always kind of thought it would be a live-only song so it's great to have it as a standalone track. That's also why I'm so surprised L.O.V.E. is on there - I still think that it could take on a different form than the live version.
Also, I wonder in what form Kitty Cat will be released as a few months ago it would have been one of my guesses for the four tracks.

I enjoy the track enough, but like a lot of people said, it works way better in a live setting. The when it goes back to the beat from the ambient interlude it's kind of a gotcha live, first time I heard it I thought SOPHIE was playing a completely different song, so to hear that beat go even harder was pretty cool. This wouldn't have been the song I chose after a year-long semi-absence, but I think SOPHIE might be considering the PRODUCT track sequencing when he's releasing the singles. This will go great in between hard and fizz/vyzee. Considering that PRODUCT is being billed as a "singles collection," I'm expecting the other songs to come out before the release date. Interesting how some of you think it's too slow, I'm looking forward to playing the vinyl on 33 (I know I can just slow it down on audacity with basically identical results, but eh)

to anyone who say that this song isn't catchy, lemme say it has been stuck with me all day today. totally agreed, what this song may lack in interestingness, it totally makes up for how epic it is in terms of sound and grime, and i can't this song out of my head. I have one pair of speakers in my place that do it justice and it is INTENSE. (sorry to my neighbor next door, just know that you're listening to really good music)
