Locals Only - Sophie-Maude

Up-and-coming Bay of Plenty artist Sophie-Maude is back with her new single, an 80s inspired pop tune, ‘Take Me Away’.

Stacked with crunchy dance synths, infectious syncopated rhythms and Sophie-Maude’s powerhouse vocals, the track is energetic; matched with lyrics that talk to the thrill of being around a magnetic, exciting person.

“The song is about connecting with a person on a deeper level than you ever have before,” says Sophie-Maude.

“I feel like I’m progressing and really starting to hone in my own style,” she explains. “I’m becoming more aware about what is happening in the world around me. The more I learn, the more I’m able to put myself into the music I create and in turn, that is helping me to become a better songwriter.”

‘Take Me Away’, follows the successful release of her recent single ‘Comfortable’, which firmly places her at the heart of a new wave of up-and-coming ‘ones to watch’ on the New Zealand music scene. Keep an ear out for more exciting things to come from this rising Tauranga artist!
