‘Skin I’m In’ is a standalone single with a powerful message. Taking a slightly different tone in this track, Sophie has decided to show her serious side. It has her personality that runs through everything she does, but features more heartfelt lyrics and a melodic arrangement. ‘Skin I’m In’ is an empowering song sharing her on-going journey towards self-love and acceptance. Despite the painfully honest opening verse, the song’s chorus serves as a beacon of hope, encouraging listeners to find strength in vulnerability and recognise the beauty within.

Bronte Pictures hand picked the song to soundtrack the closing credits for their Australian Feature Film ‘Take My Hand’; about an Australian woman living in London, who is diagnosed with MS. ‘Skin I’m In’ plays over the film’s closing scene where the lead character comes to accept her MS diagnosis, surrounded by the people and things she loves in her life, refusing to be defeated by the disease.

Speaking about the song Sophie said: “Growing up I struggled with my body image, along with a lot of teenage girls going through drastic changes in the way they look. I really struggled (and sometimes still struggle) to look at myself in the mirror without trying to improve what I’m looking at, but as I’m getting older I’m realising there’s so much more to life than having the ‘perfect figure’ – whatever that is! ‘Skin I’m In’ explores a very vulnerable side to myself that I’ve never shared before, but is ultimately a self love anthem, urging whoever listens to start being kinder to themselves and their body.”

Lines like: “What if I get the wrong tattoo? / What if my memory fades from view? / I guess if I’m half as good as you, I’ll be alright” take emotions that a lot of people feel but find hard to express. Sophie conveys them in a way that is not only incredibly sweet, but so easy to understand and relate to.

The track sounds like an artist who is truly flourishing in her developing sound, but gathers all her influences from the 60s and 70s and presents those in a contemporary way. An old head on young shoulders, Sophie’s lyrics continue to be centred around subjects that any 20-year-old may be feeling or experiencing, but are written in such a way that any person of any age may find easy to relate to.

Speaking about the song Sophie said: “This tune is all about my mum and our mother daughter relationship. My mum has always been such a strong force of nature, and growing up I always wanted to be just like her. The lyrics tell the story of the ups and the downs of our relationship, but the main message of the song is that my mum is the only person that truly feels like home to me, and she deserves a song just for her. So this ones for you mum x”
