Sofie Royer Releases 'Actress' Video Ahead of New Album
Sofie Royer has just dropped the music video for her track 'Actress,' which is part of her upcoming album 'before/after' releasing this Friday via Stones Throw Records. Grégoire Léon-Dufour directed the video, portraying Royer as an up-and-coming star who quickly realizes the negative impact of fame on her sense of self. With clever lyrics that poke fun at the pursuit of celebrity, the song touches on familiar Hollywood themes. The Guardian referred to Royer as 'one of Europe's most perplexingly overlooked pop stars.' Featuring collaborations with producers like Matt Cohn, Jorgen Odegard, and Eli Hirsch, this album blends French Touch beats with deep songwriting. The video premiered on KALTBLUT, and Royer will kick off her tour on September 12 in Vienna, concluding on December 12 in Amiens, France.
